AI-enhanced Imaging Analysis to Predict Post-EVAR

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how advanced imaging technology, powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), can help predict outcomes for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) after they undergo a procedure called endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). This procedure is important for treating AAA, which is a serious condition where the aorta, the main blood vessel in the body, becomes enlarged and can be life-threatening. By analyzing images taken before and after the surgery, the study aims to identify factors that could affect recovery and help improve how doctors monitor and treat complications after the procedure.

To participate in this trial, patients need to be adults over 18 years old who have had an elective EVAR for a non-ruptured AAA using a standard procedure. They also need to have specific imaging tests done before and after the surgery that show important details about their condition. If eligible, participants can expect to have their imaging data collected and analyzed to help create better prediction models for post-surgery outcomes. By participating, they are contributing to important research that could lead to improved care for future patients with similar conditions.
