Study summary

Shockwave TEVAR is a nonrandomized, prospective, international, multi-center, PMCF, obervational study.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of the Shockwave™ Peripheral Intravascular Lithotripsy Balloon (Shockwave Medical Inc.) in the routine treatment of hostile iliac accesses during TEVAR and F/BEVAR.

Read the detailed description

Standardized forms will collect data on the performed procedure, underlying pathology, cardiovascular risks and information on preoperative examinations. Physiological parameters routinely measured prior, during and after any surgical intervention will be recorded as well. A 1 month, 6-months and 12-months follow-up visit will be conducted to assess adverse events and outcome of the index procedure.

In addition, this study aims to analyze the technical and procedure success to gain access via hostile iliac access vessels withShockwave Peripheral Intravascular Lithotripsy Balloon in patients submitted for complex endovascualre thoracic, throaco-abdominal or abdominal aortic repair.

Study population

Patient (m/f) age ≥ 18 years

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. Patient (m/f) age ≥ 18 years at time of enrollment.
  2. Diagnosis of thoracic and/or thoraco-abdominal (Extent I-V) and juxta/para-renal/short-neck aneurysm requiring the implantation of a thoracic and/or thoraco-abdominal fenestrated/branched aortic endograft with delivery system introducer sheath diameter equal or larger than 18 Fr (6 mm).
  3. Hostile iliac access was defined in the presence of:

    • Heavily circumferential calcified iliac arteries
    • Inner diameter ≤ 6 mm
    • Severe stenosis (> 50%; > 2.5 m/s peak velocity; absence of triphasic duplex signal in ipsilateral common femoral artery)
  4. We will accept the following presentations of aneurysm:

    • urgent cases,
    • elective,
    • symptomatic
    • and fast growing.
  5. The repair was performed using Shockwave™ before the introduction of the main endograft. The iliac procedures can be accompanied by angioplasty and/or stent and stent-graft positioning.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients submitted to surgical conduit bypass.
  2. Not-severely calcified disease (absence of calcification).
  3. In-stent restenosis/occlusion.
  4. Inability to cross with 0.014 guidewire.
  5. Any significant medical condition which, in the investigator's opinion, may interfere with the subject's optimal participation in the study.
  6. Pre-stented iliac access vessels at the level of Shockwave implementation.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Efficacy: Technical success - defined as intention-to-treat basis

    * Successful dilatation of the access vessels to 8mm without rupture * Successful endovascular access and deployment of all aortic devices * Performance of the Shockwave™ IVL: Includes the definition for technical success as well as delivery of the intended main endograft without the need for surgical conversion, arterial rupture and iliac artery occlusion

    Time frame: 30 days

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 23, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
