Safety and Effectiveness Assessment of AneuFix Injectable Polymer Sac Filling to Assure Long-term Durability of EVAR. (SEAL-EVAR)

3 november 2026 bijgewerkt door: TripleMed B.V.

SEAL-EVAR: Safety and Effectiveness Assessment of AneuFix Injectable Polymer Sac Filling to Assure Long-term Durability of EVAR. A Randomized Controlled Multicenter Trial.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of adding AneuFix Injectable Polymer sac filling to standard endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in patients with an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who are at high risk of developing a Type II endoleak after EVAR. The study will include adult men and women who are candidates for elective EVAR and meet predefined imaging criteria indicating a high risk of post-procedural Type II endoleak.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does the addition of AneuFix Injectable Polymer to standard EVAR reduce the occurrence of Type II endoleaks, prevent aneurysm sac growth, and reduce the need for AAA-related reinterventions within 12 months after treatment?
  • Is treatment with AneuFix Injectable Polymer safe, as measured by the rate of major adverse events within 30 days after the procedure?

Researchers will compare EVAR plus AneuFix Injectable Polymer sac filling with standard EVAR alone to determine whether sac filling improves aneurysm-related outcomes and reduces complications associated with persistent blood flow into the aneurysm sac following EVAR.

Participants will:

  • Undergo screening assessments, including review of medical history, imaging studies, and eligibility criteria.
  • Be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either:
  • Standard EVAR with AneuFix Injectable Polymer sac filling, or
  • Standard EVAR alone.
  • Attend follow-up visits at approximately 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years after treatment.
  • Undergo imaging assessments, including CT angiography and ultrasound or magnetic resonance angiography, to evaluate the presence of endoleaks, aneurysm sac size, and other aneurysm-related outcomes.
  • Be monitored for adverse events, reinterventions, aneurysm-related complications, and survival throughout the 5-year follow-up period.
  • Complete quality-of-life questionnaires at selected study visits.

This multicenter, randomized, controlled study plans to enroll approximately 150 participants at sites across Europe and follow them for up to 5 years after treatment.

Studie Overzicht

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a progressive disease that can lead to aneurysm rupture if left untreated. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become a widely used treatment option for infrarenal AAA because it is less invasive than open surgical repair. However, long-term durability of EVAR can be affected by complications, particularly endoleaks that allow persistent blood flow within the aneurysm sac. Persistent sac pressurization may result in continued aneurysm sac enlargement, the need for secondary interventions, and, in some cases, aneurysm rupture. These complications contribute substantially to the long-term follow-up burden and healthcare costs associated with EVAR.

Type II endoleaks are among the most common endoleak types observed following EVAR and occur when retrograde blood flow enters the aneurysm sac through aortic side branches, such as the inferior mesenteric artery or lumbar arteries. Patients with specific anatomical characteristics are known to be at increased risk for development of Type II endoleaks and subsequent aneurysm sac enlargement.

AneuFix Injectable Polymer is an investigational injectable polymer designed to fill the aneurysm sac at the time of EVAR and interrupt blood flow through aortic side branches communicating with the sac. The polymer is delivered into the aneurysm sac after endograft placement, where it cures in situ to form a durable implant. The approach is intended to provide more complete occlusion of the aneurysm sac environment and associated side-branch ostia compared with selective embolization techniques.

Previous clinical experience with the AneuFix technology, including pilot, feasibility, and Type II endoleak treatment studies, has demonstrated procedural feasibility and provided preliminary evidence supporting further evaluation in a randomized controlled study.

The SEAL-EVAR study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate whether adjunctive aneurysm sac filling with AneuFix Injectable Polymer, when used in combination with standard EVAR, improves clinical outcomes compared with standard EVAR alone in patients at increased risk of developing Type II endoleaks. The study will assess both safety and effectiveness outcomes, including freedom from Type II endoleak, prevention of aneurysm sac enlargement, and reduction in AAA-related reinterventions. Long-term follow-up will be performed to evaluate durability of treatment effects and continued safety.

The results of this study are intended to provide high-quality clinical evidence regarding the role of prophylactic aneurysm sac filling as an adjunct to EVAR and to support future clinical, regulatory, and health-economic evaluations of this treatment strategy.
