An aortic aneurysm, a bulging weak spot in one of your body’s most important arteries. It is a potentially serious condition, but there is no one-size-fits all approach to treat it. Because the treatment for aneurysms can be complex, it is important to have an expert team working with you to get the best possible outcome. That’s why the Aortic Aneurysm Program at Tufts Medical Center gives you access to top ranked surgeons who have the experience needed to develop an individualized treatment plan that is right for you.

This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single arm, post-approval study. The main objective of this study is collection of the real world safety and effectiveness outcomes of the TREO Abdominal Stent-Graft System in an all-comers population eligible for the endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in routine clinical practice, with emphasis on subjects that experience a device stent-strut or barb fracture.

The TRIOMPHE study is designed to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of the NEXUS™ Aortic Arch Stent Graft System for the endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic lesions involving the aortic arch including chronic dissections, aneurysms, penetrating aortic ulcers and intramural hematoma. NEXUS represents a novel, state-of-the-art technology that provides the unique benefit of endovascular treatment of thoracic aortic lesions involving the aortic arch including chronic dissections, aneurysms, PAU and IMH who surgical intervention are not expected to provide suitable benefit, given the associated risks of those procedures.

This project involves a study of the diameter variation of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) over the cardiac cycle in vivo, a measure of the in vivo mechanical properties of AAA walls. Patient aneurysms are imaged non-invasively by ECG-gated MR Imaging, then mechanical properties of the aneurysms are determined from computational analysis of the imaging.
