Study Design:
Case-Only, Prospective
Trial Summary
To compare the aortic pulse profile before and after stent-graft implantation to prove that
endovascular AAA repair using non-compliant stent-graft changes the aortic pulse profile.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm with planned treatment using Zenith Endovascular
Stent-Graft
Detailed Description
This study will assess hemodynamic changes in aortas of patients after treatment of their
abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with an FDA approved stent-graft (Zenith). This study does
not require any change in clinical protocol to the the way the AAA procedures are currently
done. Utilizing the catheters already employed in this procedure, intravascular blood
pressure measurements will be documented at various times and at various anatomic levels
prior to and after deployment of the stent-graft.
As the compliant aortic aneurysm acts as a capacitor, expanding during systole and
contracting during diastole, it is our hypothesis that endovascular AAA repair using a
non-compliant stent-graft changes the aortic pulse profile.
Important
Final eligibility is determined by the health professionals conducting the trial and the protocol approved by the Committee on Human Resources (CHR) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
