ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding the best ways to treat complications that can happen after a procedure called endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair (EVAR). When patients have problems due to EVAR that can't be fixed by other endovascular methods, doctors have two main options: a late open conversion (LOC) or a semi-conversion (SC). LOC involves removing part or all of the original graft used in the repair, while SC means performing surgery to fix a specific issue without removing the graft. The goal of this study is to gather information on these two types of surgeries from multiple centers and to see how well they work in both the short and long term.

If you or a family member are between the ages of 65 and 74 and have had complications from EVAR that require open or laparoscopic surgery, you may be eligible to participate in this trial. However, if you have undergone other types of procedures not directly related to the graft, such as certain bypass surgeries, you would not qualify. Participants can expect to contribute to valuable research that may help improve future treatments for similar complications. The study is not yet recruiting, but it aims to provide important insights into the outcomes of different surgical approaches for EVAR complications.
