A Single-Arm, Single-Center, Non-Randomized, Prospective Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Physician Modified Endograft for Complex Abdominal and Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
University of California, Davis
Summary
The physician modified endograft is intended for treating complex, pararenal, juxtarenal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms requiring coverage of renal arteries, the superior mesenteric artery or the celiac trunk in high-risk patients who do not have an option for endovascular repair with an FDA approved endograft and have an appropriate anatomy. There will be one investigational site with a total of 40 subjects to be enrolled. Time to complete enrollment will be 24 months and the subject follow-up time will be five years from last subject enrollment. The primary safety endpoint is freedom from major adverse events (MAE) at 30 days or during hospitalization if this exceeds 30 days. The primary effectiveness endpoint is the proportion of study subjects with treatment success at one year. The subjects will be followed at one month, six months, one year, and yearly thereafter for a total period of five years. Subjects will be followed up clinically for life. Clinical exam follow up may be phone or video visit with CT scan evaluation and duplex ultrasound as needed. The proportion of treatment group subjects that achieve and maintain treatment success annually to five years will be investigated.
Description
The devices that will be used are Cook Medical © devices designed and approved for thoracic aortic and perivisceral aortic disease. These devices are all constructed of full-thickness woven polyester fabric sewn to self-expanding stainless steel or nitinol Cook-Z stents with braided polyester and monofilament polypropylene suture. The grafts are available in a straight or tapered configuration, both of which are fully stented to provide stability and the expansile force necessary to open the lumen of the graft during deployment. These include Zenith TX2 Dissection Endovascular Grafts, The Zeni…
