Endurant Stent Graft System vs Excluder Endoprothesis: ADVANCE Trial (ADVANCE)

April 2, 2026 updated by: Medtronic Cardiovascular

Endurant Stent Graft System vs Excluder Endoprothesis: A Global, Prospective, Randomized Clinical Trial in Sac Regression

The purpose of this trial is to generate clinical evidence related to key performance outcomes of Endurant II/IIs Stent Graft Systems verses Gore Excluder / Excluder Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis in subjects with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms. Subjects are randomized and imaging collected at all follow-up time points to assess the primary endpoint.

Detailed Description

This is a post-market, prospective, interventional, global, multi-center, randomized, dual-arm clinical trial. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate sac regression outcomes of the Medtronic Endurant II/IIs Stent Graft System and Gore Excluder/Excluder Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis in standard EVAR subjects. Subjects are randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive EVAR with either a Medtronic Endurant II/IIs Stent Graft Systems or Gore Excluder / Excluder Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis. Data is collected pre- and post-procedure at discharge, at 30 days, and once a year until the 5-year follow-up is completed. Approximately 600 subjects are planned to be enrolled at up to 100 sites globally.

Product Names:

  • Medtronic Endurant II/IIs Stent Graft System
  • Gore Excluder and/or Gore Excluder Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis Imaging is collected for all follow-up time points and are evaluated by a core lab for the key primary and secondary objectives.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject and the treating physician agree that the subject will return for all required follow up visits
  • Subject or legal representative or consultee, as applicable, has consented for trial participation and signed the Informed Consent approved by the sponsor and by the Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board
  • Subject has an aneurysm diameter of ≥ 5 cm (if woman) ≥ 5.5 cm (if man) or as stated otherwise in regional addenda.
  • Subject's AAA anatomy is appropriate for both Medtronic Endurant II/IIs Stent Graft System and Gore Excluder/Excluder Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis as per assessment of both treating physician and Core Lab in accordance with the overlapping commercially available IFUs per applicable region.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject is participating in an investigational drug or device study which may bias or interfere with the endpoints and follow-up of this trial
  • Subject has an estimated life expectancy of ≤ 3 years as judged by the investigator

  • Subject has an aneurysm that is:

    7. Ruptured
    8. Symptomatic AAA
  • Subject has significant thrombus and / or calcium at the arterial implantation sites, specifically the proximal aortic neck and distal iliac artery interface. Significant thrombus may be quantified as thrombus ≥ 2 mm in thickness and / or ≥ 25% of the vessel circumference in the intended seal zone of the aortic neck.
  • Subject requires emergent aneurysm treatment, for example, trauma or rupture
