Stent graft coverage of the left subclavian artery (LSA) may be required to achieve an adequate landing zone in up to 40% of descending thoracic aneurysms (DTAs). To ensure adequate seal of currently available off-the-shelf stent grafts, 20 mm of healthy aorta is recommended between the proximal
Primary end-point is to evaluate the mortality and major adverse events (MAE) at 30 days, 2 years and 5 years prospectively in the cohort of patients p-AAA treated by means of open repair in the next 100 patients that will be treated between 2018 and 2020 in the Vascular Surgery Unit of the San
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of inherited disorders, characterized by progressive gait disturbance with weakness and spasticity, which predominate in lower extremities. There is no established therapy. Adrenoleukodystrophy (AMN) is an x-linked hereditary disease. One of its form,
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of this device as there are no or very limited devices and clinical options available for this patient population. The primary safety endpoint of this study is safety freedom from major adverse events (MAE) at 30 days or during
Aortic dissection (AD) aneurysm is a common catastrophic aortic disease in clinical setting. In the U.S., the prevalence is approximate 2.9-3.5 cases/100000 persons per year, with recent evidence showing an increasing incidence of up to 14 cases per 100000 patients per year. AD aneurysm can be
The Neurogenetics Branch (NGB) within the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is conducting a study to evaluate patients with hereditary spastic paraplegia types 3A, 4 and 31. The objective of this study is to understand disease progression in these closely related forms
Vascutek Ltd has developed the Thoraflex™ Hybrid Device (Plexus™ 4 and Ante-Flo™) for the open surgical repair or replacement of damaged or diseased vessels of the aortic arch and descending aorta, with or without involvement of the ascending aorta, in cases of aneurysm and/or dissection. The
Introduction
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (SPG) constitute a heterogeneous group of diseases with a common predominant feature: spasticity of the lower limbs and difficulty walking. The neurologic examination reveals spasticity, exaggerated and pathological reflexes, such as the Babinski sign, and
The primary safety endpoint of the study is freedom from Major Adverse Events (MAE), a composite endpoint consisting of death, stroke, paraplegia, myocardial infarction, respiratory failure, renal failure, bowel ischemia and blood loss ≥ 1000 mL.
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) results in permanent paraplegia or quadriplegia in approximately 10,000 Americans annually. All patients with SCI have neuropathic dysfunction of the urinary bladder. Progressive neurological syndromes such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Stroke,
Conventional treatments of thoracoabdominal aneurysm are medical treatments (based on hypertension control) on one hand and surgical treatment on the other hand.
The standard treatment is surgery consisting of an exclusion of the aneurysm with restoration of continuity by means of a prosthesis
Thoracic aortic aneurysm, while relatively rare, is a potentially lethal disorder with a poor long-term prognosis if not treated. As the aortic diameter increases, wall tension becomes higher, leading to further expansion of the aneurysm. Consequently, this disease process is a "progressive and self
