Evaluating a mobile hybrid room for vascular surgery

Official title: French Randomised Controlled Trial Investigating the Clinical and Cost-effectiveness Role of a Cloud-based, Artificial Intelligent Image Fusion System to Guide Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair and Aorto Iliac Revascularisation.

Run by Nantes University Hospital · NCT06590532 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing whether using a new mobile imaging system during vascular surgery can improve patient outcomes and reduce costs compared to standard X-ray methods for people with specific blood vessel conditions.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with aorto-iliac artery disease or abdominal aortic aneurysms who are eligible for endovascular treatment and have a recent angioscan.

Probably not a fit

Patients requiring emergency procedures or those undergoing associated surgical interventions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the clinical and cost-effectiveness of a mobile hybrid room equipped with an automated image fusion system compared to standard X-ray fluoroscopy imaging in vascular surgery. Conducted across seven French university hospitals, the study aims to recruit 350 patients with aorto-iliac occlusive disease or abdominal aortic aneurysms suitable for endovascular treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive treatment with or without the advanced imaging system, with outcomes measured in terms of procedure time, radiation exposure, clinical success, and costs. The trial will be conducted in real-world settings to assess the broader impact on healthcare systems.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance patient safety and reduce healthcare costs while improving clinical outcomes in vascular surgery.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of mobile hybrid rooms is gaining interest, this specific approach with automated image fusion is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
