Italian University launches an Innovative Approach to Automated Carbon Dioxide Angiography During Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
University of Bologna is starting a new clinical trial of An Innovative Approach to Automated Carbon Dioxide Angiography During Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair.
The study aims to perform Endovascular Aortic Repair procedures with CO2-Angiography using a standardized an operative Protocol.
Primary outcome measure is technical success to assess the renal ostia and the hypogastric arteries (defined as 100% accuracy correlated to the iodinated contrast agent angiography or IVUS/FUSION techniques).
The clinical trial started in December 12, 2018 and will continue throughout September 30, 2021.
The patients that can be enrolled into this study include male and female population, at the age > 18 years, patients with indication for AAA.
There are a number of conditions that do not allow participation, such as:
- Severe COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)
- Known atrium- or ventricular septal defect with right-left-shunt
- Severe renal arteries atherosclerosis
- Ruptured AAA
- Current partecipation in other interventional studies
The contacts and locations are the Department of experimental diagnostic and specialty medicine - Vascular Surgery, Bologna, Italy.
