Aneurysm clinical trials at UCSF
6 in progress, 4 open to new patients
-
Branched Aortic Arch Study
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
This is a study to assess the safety and effectiveness of endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms involving the proximal aortic arch. The investigational operation involves placing a stent-graft over the aortic aneurysm.

Endovascular Exclusion of Thoracoabdominal and/or Paravisceral Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
open to eligible people ages 18 years and up
This is a study to assess the safety and effectiveness of endovascular treatment of thoracoabdominal (TAAA) and paravisceral abdominal (PVAAA) aortic aneurysms. The investigational operation involves placing a stent-graft over the aortic aneurysm.

Framing Eighteen Coils in Cerebral Aneurysms Trial
open to eligible people ages 18-80
This trial is being conducted in order to compare angiographic outcomes in patients receiving 0.014-0.0155" platinum framing and filling coils (larger diameter coils) versus those treated solely with coils less than 0.014" (with a standard diameter). Hypothesis: Angiographic occlusion at follow-up imaging will be more frequent in patients receiving 0.014-0.0155" platinum coils during embolization compared to those receiving smaller-diameter coils.

Use of Fish Oil to Reduce Inflammation During Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Repair
open to eligible people ages 40-90
The purpose of this study is to determine if high-dose PUFA supplementation in patients undergoing EVAR for infra-renal AAA reduces the peri-operative inflammation.

Infliximab Therapy for Dolichoectactic Vertebrobasilar Aneurysms
Sorry, not yet accepting patients
Patients harboring dolichoectactic vertebrobasilar (DVB) aneurysms are at risk of suffering SAH, ischemic stroke, and/or brainstem compression and many patients are not offered invasive treatment due to the futility of existing surgical methods. Consequently, there is demand for development of medical therapy for DVB aneurysms

Zenith® Fenestrated Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Endovascular Graft Continued Access Study
Sorry, not accepting new patients
The Zenith®Fenestrated AAA Endovascular Graft Clinical Study is a clinical investigation approved by the US FDA to study the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith® Fenestrated AAA Endovascular Graft in the treatment of abdominal aortic and aorto-iliac aneurysms.
