ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new device called the Valiant Captivia Fenestrated Stent Graft, which is designed to treat serious conditions affecting the aorta, such as aortic aneurysms, penetrating ulcers, and certain types of aortic dissections. The main goal of the study is to determine how safe and effective this stent graft is right after it’s implanted and again after 30 days. By participating, individuals will help researchers understand how well this treatment works and what effects it may have.

To be eligible for the trial, participants must be at least 18 years old and have specific aortic conditions that require urgent treatment. They must also be able to tolerate surgery and have certain healthy measurements in their aorta. Throughout the study, participants will receive close monitoring during and after the procedure, and their recovery will be tracked until they are discharged from the hospital. It’s important to know that this trial is currently recruiting participants, and they will need to sign an informed consent form to join.
