Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Prospective evaluation of a model to predict outcomes following Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair (EVAR)
Scientific title
Prospective evaluation of an interactive model for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) developed to allow clinicians to preoperatively predcit the likelihood of individual failure based on perioperative & aneurysm-related mortality, need for reintervention, type I and II endoleaks and 3 year survival.

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This study does not evaluate the EVAR procedure, but rather obtain detailed information in order to further refine the existing predictive model.
Participants in this study will require elective, non-urgent EVAR repair.
Participants will attend a pre-opreative appointment, followed by a post-operative review within 6 weeks of EVAR, at 6 months and then follow up appointments annually for three years. Biomarkers will be collected pre-operatively and at every follow up visit to assess whether specific biomarkers are able to predict the incidence of postoperative EVAR failure and hence contribute further to the predictive model.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 5600 0
To prospectively evaluate and improve an interactive model for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) developed to allow clinicians to preoperatively predict the likelihood of individual failure based on perioperative and aneurysm-related mortality, need for reintervention, type I & III endoleaks and survival.
Participants will undergo detailed vascular assessments at the preoperative appointment, and at each follow up. Participants will also have a Computed Tomography (CT) or Ultrasound performed at every visit, standard blood tests +/- biomarkers and concomitant medication and adverse event assessment.
Timepoint [1] 5600 0
Up to 3 years post-EVAR
Secondary outcome [1] 9427 0
To assess whether specific biomarkers are able to predict the incidence of postoperative EVAR failure and hence contribute to the predictive model.
Participants who elect to undertake this separate component of the study will have blood samples taken pre-operatively, and at every follow up appointment. Blood samples will be analysed by Professor Jonathan Golledge, James Cook University.
Timepoint [1] 9427 0
3 years post-EVAR
