Arcevo LSA for Aortic Arch Conditions
(ARTIZEN Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial aims to determine if the Arcevo LSA stent graft is a safe and effective treatment for individuals with specific aortic arch conditions. It targets those with an aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta wall) or an aneurysm (a bulge in the aorta) affecting the aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta. The trial includes two groups: one for chronic conditions and another for acute (sudden) or subacute (recent) issues. Suitable candidates have an aortic dissection or aneurysm involving the aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta, confirmed by a recent scan. As an unphased trial, this study provides patients the opportunity to contribute to medical research and potentially benefit from innovative treatment options.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial team or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that the Arcevo LSA stent graft is safe for treating aortic arch conditions?
Research shows that the Arcevo LSA stent graft is under careful study to assess its safety and effectiveness for treating aortic conditions. Specific information from past studies about side effects or patient tolerance is not yet available.
However, since this trial is not in the early stages, the treatment has already demonstrated some safety in humans. Treatments in later trial phases have typically undergone enough testing to indicate general safety, suggesting few serious side effects in earlier studies.
Prospective participants should ask the study team about any known risks and the measures in place to ensure participant safety.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Unlike the standard treatments for aortic arch conditions, which often involve open surgery or endovascular repair, Arcevo LSA offers a less invasive approach. Researchers are excited about Arcevo LSA because it targets aortic aneurysms and dissections with potentially fewer complications and shorter recovery times. This treatment uses a novel delivery system that can be especially beneficial for patients who are not ideal candidates for traditional surgery, providing a safer and more efficient alternative.
What evidence suggests that the Arcevo LSA stent graft is effective for aortic arch conditions?
Research has shown that the Arcevo LSA stent graft is being tested in this trial to treat serious aortic arch problems, such as tears or bulges in the main artery from the heart. The primary study arm will include participants with an aortic aneurysm or chronic aortic dissection, while the secondary study arm will include patients with acute or subacute aortic dissections. The stent graft acts as a support to strengthen the artery wall and prevent dangerous breaks. Although direct data on its effectiveness is limited, similar stent grafts have managed these issues successfully. The Arcevo LSA aims to improve patient outcomes by providing a strong and flexible solution for complex aortic repairs. Early signs are promising, but further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.23467
