University of Utah PS-IDE: Physician Modified Endovascular Grafts for the Treatment of Elective, Symptomatic or Ruptured Juxtarenal Aortic Aneurysms
United States15 participantsStarted 2025-05-15
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of a physician-modified endovascular graft (PMEG) for juxtarenal aortic aneurysms by collecting data on its performance. Participants in the study will undergo surgery to repair their juxtarenal aortic aneurysm using the PMEG device. After the surgery, participants will attend several follow-up visits to monitor their recovery and the device's effectiveness. These follow-up visits will take place at hospital discharge, then at 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, and once a year for up to 5 years after surgery.

Inclusion criteria
. Patient is ≥ 18 years of age
. Patients who are male or non-pregnant female (females of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to enrollment into the study)
. Patient or Legally Authorized Representative has signed an Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved Informed Consent Form
. Patient has a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm that meets at least one of the following:
. An aneurysm with a maximum diameter of ≥ 5.5 cm for male (≥ 5.0 cm for female) or 2 times the normal diameter just proximal to the aneurysm using orthogonal (i.e., perpendicular to the centerline) measurements
. Aneurysm with a history of growth \> 0.5 cm in 6 months
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. Saccular aneurysm deemed at significant risk for rupture
. Symptomatic aneurysm
Exclusion criteria
. Patient has a mycotic aneurysm or has an active systemic or local infection that may increase the risk of endovascular infection
. Patient has unstable angina (defined as angina with a progressive increase in symptoms, new onset at rest or nocturnal angina, or onset of prolonged angina)
. Patient has a major surgical or interventional procedure, not related to the endovascular repair, planned within +/- 30 days of the AAA repair.
. Patient has history of an aortopathic connective tissue disease (e.g. Marfan's or Ehler's-Danlos syndrome).
. Patient has a known hypersensitivity or contraindication to anticoagulation or contrast media that is not amenable to pre-treatment.
. Patient has known allergy or intolerance to stainless steel, nitinol or gold (gold-coated tungsten).
. Patient has a body habitus that would inhibit X-ray visualization of the aorta
. Patient has a limited life expectancy of less than 1 year
