Study summary

This registry has been designed as a multicenter, single arm, open label, post-market registry study with consecutive, eligible patient enrollment at each site. All subjects undergoing the Endovascular Aneurysm Sealing System (EVAS) with the Nellix®-System. Subjects will be followed up to discharge discharge, and as per institutional standard of care thereafter through to 5 years (total follow-up commitment). This registry of the Nellix System, which has received the market authorization of the European Union (Conformité Européenne, CE-certification) in a "real world" patient population treated in a multicenter setting will provide an assessment of the generalizability of the approach and System.

Up to 300 patients diagnosed with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who are considered candidates for Endovascular Repair, in up to 30 international centers will be enrolled in the study.

Read the detailed description
  1. Baseline: medical history, physical exams, CT image, bloodwork,
  2. Procedure: implantation information
  3. Discharge: Physical exam, bloodwork and adverse events, if any
  4. Follow-up according to institutional standard through to 5 years including Physical exam, CT image or standard of care imaging eg Doppler Ultrasound, bloodwork and adverse events, if any

Study population

Up to 300 patients diagnosed with AAA who are considered candidates for Endovascular Repair, who meet the study eligibility criteria and sign the Informed consent may be subsequently enrolled in the study

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Male or female at least 18 years old
  2. Subject has signed for data release
  3. Subjects with AAA and eligible for endovascular repair

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Currently participating in another study where primary endpoint has not been reached yet
  2. Known allergy to any of the device components
  3. Pregnant (females of only)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 8, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
