Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18-80 with infrarenal AAA meeting specified aneurysm size and anatomical criteria and suitable for endovascular repair.

Probably not a fit

Patients with anatomy unsuitable for endovascular repair or who experience major adverse events early may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study evaluates the safety and efficacy of the Ankura II Abdominal Aortic Stent Graft System in patients with infrarenal AAA. Primary safety is the rate of major adverse events within 30 days after the procedure, and primary efficacy is the 12-month treatment success rate. Eligible participants are adults aged 18-80 with suitable infrarenal anatomy and specific aneurysm criteria. The study uses endovascular repair via femoral access to exclude the aneurysm from blood flow, aiming to reduce rupture risk. The Ankura II IE versions with distal diameters of 24, 26, and 28 mm are included in the evaluation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience safer aneurysm repair with potentially lower complication rates and durable exclusion of the aneurysm.

How similar studies have gone: Previous generations of Ankura stent grafts have shown promise in aneurysm repair; this study extends evaluation to the Ankura II devices.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. 18 years ≤ age ≤80years, no gender limitation.
2. Patients diagnosed with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm and should meet at least one of the following conditions:

   1. The maximum diameter of abdominal aortic aneurysm is 55 mm or more in male patients or 50 mm or more in female patients;
   2. The maximum diameter of abdominal aortic aneurysm has increased by more than 5 mm in the last 6 months or 10 mm in the last 1 year;
   3. Abdominal aortic aneurysm oppresses important organs and viscera and causes symptoms (such as abdominal pain, lower back pain, etc.).
3. Anatomical criteria:

   * Diameter of the proximal abdominal aortic aneurysm neck ranges from 17 mm to 33 mm;
   * Length of the proximal abdominal aortic aneurysm neck ≥ 10 mm;
   * Angle of the proximal abdominal aortic aneurysm neck ≤ 75 degrees;
   * At least one side of the iliac artery anchorage zone has a diameter of 20 to 25 mm, while the other side of the iliac artery anchorage zone could be 7 to 25 mm;
   * Length of the bilateral iliac artery anchorage zone ≥ 15mm;
   * Adequate iliac or femoral vessel access
4. Patients who are able to understand the purpose of the study, voluntarily participate in the study and sign the informed consent form, and are willing to complete the follow-up visits as per the protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with ruptured or leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm;
2. Patients with infectious abdominal aortic aneurysm;
3. Patients with abdominal aortic dissection;
4. Patients with traumatic aortic disease;
5. Patients with severe stenosis, calcification or mural thrombus in the stent anchoring zone likely to cause difficult covered stent apposition or the impact on stent patency;
6. Patients with mesenteric blood flow mainly supplied by the inferior mesenteric artery;
7. Patients with accessory renal artery original from abdominal artery;
8. Patients who have undergone abdominal aortic surgery or endovascular intervention;
9. Patients with stroke (Except for TIA), myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 3 months; The unstable angina is characterized by: progressively increased angina symptoms, new onset of angina while resting or during the night, or prolonged angina duration
10. Patients with allergies to contrast agents, stent graft and delivery system materials (i.e., nitinol, polyester, PTFE, nylon polymer materials);
11. Patients with allergies or contraindications to anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs;
12. Patients with abnormal hepatic and renal functions before operation (ALT or AST exceeding five times the upper limit of normal; STB exceeding two times the upper limit of normal; baseline serum creatinine exceeding 2.0 mg/dL (approximately 176.8 μmol/L));
13. Patients who have undergone major surgery within 30 days prior to the procedure, or who are scheduled to undergo major surgery within 30 days following the procedure;
14. Patients have morbid obesity (BMI of \>40.0 kg/m2) or other clinical conditions that inhibit visualization of the aorta;
15. Patients with systemic or localized infection likely to increase the risk of endovascular graft infection;
16. Patients with connective tissue diseases related to the aorta, such as Marfan's syndrome;
17. Patients with life expectancy of less than 1 year;
18. Female patients who are in pregnancy or lactation, or plan to become pregnant;
19. Patients who are not suitable for endovascular treatment according to the investigator's judgement;
20. Patients who are participating in other device or drug clinical investigational studies.
