Digital Twin and Ml-basEd MOdel of TEVAR Interventions
Italy5,000 participantsStarted 2026-02-11
Plain-language summary
The study aims to collect clinical data and pseudonymized CT images of patients undergoing TEVAR in order to create an anatomical digital twin capable of simulating procedural outcomes and training machine learning (ML) algorithms. This approach will support predictive models that may assist physicians in selecting the optimal medical device, improving pre-TEVAR planning, and predicting post-TEVAR complications.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* ≥18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult)
* Female and male
* Received TEVAR for: Chronic or acute dissection, Aneurysm, Penetrating aortic ulcer, aortic thrombus, intramural hematoma or traumatic injury
Exclusion Criteria:
* Younger than 18 years old
* Received TEVAR in surgical graft that replaced native aorta
* Poor CT image quality that leads to failure in generating a high-fidelity 3D FE model of patient anatomy (no preoperative multidetector contrast-enhanced CT-scan available, preoperative CTscan slice thickness greater than 1mm, preoperative CT-scan with artifacts, motion artifacts due to the presence of other implanted devices affecting the region of interest)
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.
