Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with pararenal or thoracoabdominal aortic pathologies who are scheduled for treatment with the semibranch device.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under 18 years old and women of childbearing age will 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
This registry aims to assess the effectiveness of a custom-made semibranch device in branched endovascular aortic repair for patients with pararenal and thoracoabdominal aortic pathologies. It will evaluate the patency of the semibranch and the feasibility of the technique concerning cannulation and stent grafting. Participants will be treated with the semibranch device and enrolled in the registry upon consent, with no changes to their treatment plan during the study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could improve outcomes for patients undergoing endovascular aortic repair.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, similar studies in endovascular aortic repair have shown promising results.
