Study to Determine if the Valiant Stent Graft is Safe and Effective in Treating Patients Who Have a Blunt Thoracic Aortic Injury (RESCUE)

October 27, 2021 updated by: Medtronic Cardiovascular

Evaluation of the Clinical Performance of the Valiant Thoracic Stent Graft With the Captivia Delivery System for the Endovascular Treatment of Blunt Thoracic Aortic Injuries (RESCUE)

The purpose of this study is to determine if the Valiant stent graft is safe and effective in treating patients who have a blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI). BTAI is when the aorta has been injured due to traumatic force to the chest area. It is commonly caused by motor vehicle accidents. In most cases it is life threatening and the standard treatment is surgery. Many times when a person has a BTAI they also have other injuries that can affect the results of the surgery.

Since stent grafting has been an effective way to treat other aortic conditions such as aneurysms (bulge in aorta wall), it is believed that the Valiant stent graft would be effective in treating BTAI. A stent graft is a woven polyester tube (graft) supported by a metal frame of strong but flexible nitinol (type of metal) springs (stent) that is placed in the aorta to help seal the injury and keep it from bleeding.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)
