Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients aged 18 to 90 with specific aortic arch pathologies who are undergoing treatment with branch stent graft systems.

Probably not a fit

Patients with systemic infections, untreated malignancies, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

The ENDOBARC-S study is an observational follow-up that evaluates the effectiveness of branch stent graft systems in preventing death related to aortic arch pathologies. Patients aged 18 to 90 with conditions such as thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection will be treated with devices like the Nexus stent-graft system or Relay Branch. Data will be collected over approximately 60 months, with physicians documenting their observations during routine care. The study aims to assess both the safety and clinical performance of these devices.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly reduce mortality associated with aortic arch pathologies.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar endovascular approaches, indicating potential for success in this area.
