Evaluation of a 3D-Printed Stent-Graft for Aortic Aneurysms
Official title: Evaluation of Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Aortal Stent-graft Modelled Printing 3D Model Printing Technology - Multicenter, Randomized Clinical Trial
Run by Samodzielny Publiczny Szpital Kliniczny nr 2 PUM · NCT06969729 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new 3D-printed stent-graft to see if it works better and is safer than standard devices for treating complex abdominal aortic aneurysms in about 100 patients.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with specific types of abdominal aortic aneurysms or endoleaks that meet the study criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with allergies to stent materials or contraindications to anticoagulation will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial compares the efficacy and safety of a physician-modified stent-graft created using 3D printing technology against standard custom-made devices for treating complex abdominal aortic aneurysms. It is a randomized, multicenter, open-label study involving approximately 100 patients, who will be assigned to either the innovative intervention or the standard procedure. The study includes a screening phase, intervention phase, and a 12-month safety follow-up to assess outcomes. Randomization will help minimize bias and ensure balanced characteristics among treatment groups.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a more effective and tailored treatment option for patients with complex aortic aneurysms.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of 3D printing in medical devices is gaining traction, this specific approach to treating aortic aneurysms is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
