AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion criteria
. Patient suitable for treatment of a juxta, para-renal, suprarenal or thoracoabdominal aneurysm with a fenestrated endoprosthesis in accordance with current indications and guidelines for the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (aneurysm \> 5 centimetres for women and \> 5.5 centimetres for men and/or growth \> 5 mm in 6 months or 1 centimetre in 1 year).
. The fenestrated endograft must be designed in a way that positions the fenestrations directly in front of the orifice of the target vessel, ensuring that the distance between the fenestration and the orifice of the target vessel does not exceed 5 mm.
. Anatomy and patient strictly in accordance with the Instructions For Use (IFU) of the fenestrated endograft chosen to be implanted:
. Terumo Aortic: TREO and Anaconda Fenestrated Stent Grafts
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.
What they're measuring
1
Bridging stent patency at 12-month visit
Timeframe: 12 months visit
2
Absence of target vessel instability between implantation and 12-month visit.
Timeframe: starting at implant day through the study completion, with an average of 12Months up to 14Months per window.
