NCT00435942

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Relay thoracic stent-graft system to treat thoracic aortic aneurysms. Efficacy will be evaluated by the device-related adverse event rate of endovascular repair (via Relay Thoracic Stent-Graft) through 1-year. Safety will be evaluated by comparing major adverse events through 1-year in subjects treated with the Relay Thoracic Stent-Graft to those who underwent surgical repair. Long term follow-up is conducted through 5 years.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Freedom From Major Adverse Device Effects

    The primary effectiveness endpoint was freedom from major device-related adverse events \[endoleak (Types I, III and IV), stent migration (\> 10mm as compared to the 1 month visit), lumen occlusion, aneurysm rupture, and deployment failure/conversion to surgical repair\] at 1 year post-procedure. The proportion of participants in the Effectiveness sample who were free from major device-related AEs at 1-year post-procedure was compared against a performance goal of 0.80 using a 1-sided z-test (normal approximation to the binomial) at an alpha level of 0.025. Rejection of the null hypothesis would provide evidence that this performance goal (proportion-free greater than 0.80) was met.

    1 year

  • Primary Safety Endpoint: Distribution of Major Adverse Events

    The primary safety endpoint was the distribution of participants experiencing at least 1 of the major adverse events (aneurysm-related mortality, stroke, paralysis/paraplegia, myocardial infarction, procedural bleeding, respiratory failure, renal failure, and wound healing complications) within 1 year post-procedure

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Subjects with diagnosed descending thoracic aortic aneurysms or penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers
  • Subjects who are at least 18 years of age
  • Subjects whose anatomy can accommodate the Relay device
  • Subjects who consent to participate
  • Subjects who agree to comply with follow-up schedule

You may not qualify if:

  • Subjects with non-aneurysm lesions
  • Subjects with less than 1 year life expectancy
  • Subjects who are pregnant
  • Subjects with medical conditions that would complicate the endovascular procedure or confound the results (e.g., Marfan's Syndrome, prior repair in the thoracic aorta, severe coronary artery disease, morbid obesity, etc.)
  • Subjects participating in another investigational study
