Study summary

The ENDOBARC-S post-market clinical follow-up study is undertaken to evaluate the prevention of death related to aortic arch pathologies when treated by branch stent graft systems (Nexus stent-graft system®, Relay Branch® or Zenith arch branch graft®), with proximal landing at zone 0.

The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and clinical performance of the studied devices.

Read the detailed description

In this study patients will be observed, who receive a branch stent graft systems (Nexus stent-graft system®, Relay Branch® or Zenith arch branch graft®) for the endovascular treatment of aortic arch pathologies with proximal landing at zone 0. The devices will be implanted at the discretion of the treating physician.

Participating physicians will be asked to provide their observations collected during routine care for patients he/she had decided to treat with the branch stent graft systems for aortic arch (Nexus stent-graft system®, Relay Branch® or Zenith arch branch graft®). Informed consent of the patients to allow the use of their clinical records for the purpose of this observational study will be obtained before data are being collected.

The period of data collection will be approximately 60 months from the index procedure for each patient. Source document verification will be performed on 100% of patients; data from all visits will be reviewed and verified against existing source documents. Complete DICOM image files of the CT scans will be sent to the CoreLab for independent evaluation.

Study population

Patient with aortic arch pathologies (aneurysm, pseudoanerysm, dissection, penetrating ulcer, intramural hematoma), treated by branched stent-grafts (Nexus stent graft system©, Relay® Branch or Zenith arch branch graft®, with proximal landing at zone 0.

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

  • Patient is between 18 and 90 years old
  • Patient with aortic arch pathologies (aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, dissection, penetrating ulcer, intramural hematoma), treated by branched stent-grafts (Nexus stent graft system©, Relay® Branch or Zenith arch branch graft®, with proximal landing at zone 0.
  • Patient must be available for the appropriate follow-up times for the duration of the study
  • signed.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient less than 18 years old or more than 90 years old.
  • Patient has allergies to materials necessary for endovascular repair (e.g. contrast media, anticoagulants or heparin, nitinol, polyester, gold, platinum-iridium)
  • Patient has systemic infection or suspected systemic infection
  • Patient has thrombocytopenia ( count \< 150000/µl)
  • Patient has untreated hyperthyroidism
  • Patient has a progressive or untreated .
  • Patient is pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Patient has a of less than 1 year.
  • Not signed
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.
