Objective

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Arcevo LSA stent graft can safely and effectively treat patients that have an acute or chronic aortic dissection and/or aneurysm that involves the aortic arch and the descending thoracic aorta, with or without the involvement of the ascending aorta.

Details

Full study title A Prospective, Multi-center Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Arcevo LSA in the Open Repair of Aortic Arch Aneurysms and Dissections: ARTIZEN Study
Protocol number OCR49785
ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT07089576
Phase N/A

Eligibility

General Inclusion Criteria

  1. ≥18 years of age or ≤80 years of age (male or female) at time of surgery

  2. Patient has one of the following indications for open surgery based on computed tomography angiography (CTA) completed within 90 days of informed consent:

    • Acute, subacute, or chronic dissection that involves the aortic arch and the descending thoracic aorta, with or without involvement of the ascending aorta

    • Aneurysm that involves the aortic arch and the descending thoracic aorta, with or without involvement of the ascending aorta

  3. Patient, or patient's legally authorized representative (LAR; in the secondary arm only), provides written informed consent prior to any study procedures

  4. Patient's surgery occurs within 90 days of informed consent Anatomical Inclusion Criteria

  5. Aortic diameter at the intended Arcevo™ LSA anastomosis site is ≥ 21 mm

  6. For Aneurysm with distal sealing (i.e., single stage procedure), aortic diameter at the intended distal sealing zone is between 20-36 mm

  7. For Dissection with distal sealing, aortic diameter at the intended distal sealing zone is between 22-40 mm

  8. LSA branch does not require additional stenting further into the LSA (beyond the Arcevo™ LSA)

  9. The intended LSA sealing zone has a diameter between 8. 5 mm and 14. 0 mm with a length of at least 10 mm

  10. Absence of dissection, aneurysm, or stenosis in the intended LSA sealing zone

  11. The intended LSA branch position does not interrupt flow to any branch vessel (e.g.,

left vertebral artery)

  1. Patient does not have computed tomography (CT) evidence of extreme arch or LSA

angulation precluding safe passage of the Arcevo™ LSA and delivery system

  1. LSA take-off angle between 15° and 90°

  2. For patients requiring planned extension, there is a ≥ 2 cm distal seal zone for the

TEVAR device without a severely angulated descending aorta

  1. For patients requiring planned extension, patient has suitable iliac artery anatomy

for safe passage of the TEVAR delivery system

General Exclusion Criteria

  1. Patient is pregnant, or planning to become pregnant during the course of the study; individuals of child-bearing potential must agree to use acceptable methods of contraception during the study

  2. Patient has another medical condition (aside from the arch disease) that, in the opinion of the investigator, reduces the patient's life expectancy to < 2 years

  3. Patient has an existing aortic stent graft device in the descending aorta that would interact with Arcevo™ LSA

  4. Patient has a medical, social, or psychological problem that, in the opinion of the investigator, could impede the patient's ability to return for follow-up

  5. Patient is unwilling or unable to comply with the follow-up schedule

  6. Patient is institutionalized due to administrative or judicial order

  7. Patient is unwilling to accept blood transfusion or blood product

  8. Patient is currently participating in another interventional clinical study which includes treatment with another investigational product (e.g., device, pharmaceutical or biologic) Medical Exclusion Criteria

  9. Patient is unfit for open surgical repair involving circulatory arrest

  10. Patient is in extreme hemodynamic compromise requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation

(CPR) or substantial inotropic support prior to surgery

  1. Patient has an active systemic infection

  2. Patient has endocarditis or active infection of the aorta

  3. Patient has a freely ruptured aorta

  4. Patient has a history of a bleeding disorder (e.g., hemophilia)

  5. Patient has current end-stage renal disease (e.g., GFR

Participate in a study

Here are some general steps to consider when participating in a research study:

  1. Step
    1

    Contact the research team

    Call or email the research team listed within the specific clinical trial or study to let them know that you're interested. A member of the research team, such as the researcher or study coordinator, will be available to tell you more about the study and to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

  2. Step
    2

    Get screened to confirm eligibility

    You may be asked to take part in prescreening to make sure you are eligible for a study. The prescreening process ensures it is safe for you to participate. During the prescreening process, you will be asked some questions and you may also be asked to schedule tests or procedures to confirm your eligibility.

  3. Step
    3

    Provide your consent to participate

    If you are eligible and want to join the clinical trial or study, a member of the research team will ask for your consent to participate. To give consent, you will be asked to read and sign a consent form for the study. This consent form explains the study's purpose, procedures, risks, benefits and provides other important information, such as the study team's contact information.

  4. Step
    4

    Participate

    If you decide to participate in a clinical trial or study, the research team will keep you informed of the study requirements and what you will need to do to throughout the study. For some trials or studies, your health care provider may work with the research team to ensure there are no conflicts with other medications or treatments.
