AAA-SHAPE Trial: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Sac Healing and Prevention of Expansion

Official Title AAA-SHAPE Pivotal Trial: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Sac Healing and Prevention of Expansion

Purpose

The purpose of this research is to determine if the IMPEDE-FX RapidFill System is safe and helps to shrink abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA - a bulge or swelling due to weakening of the walls of the aorta, which is the main blood vessel that carries blood from your heart to other parts of your body) sacs after an endovascular stent graft (a fabric tube supported by metal wire stents that reinforces a weakened aorta) has been placed. The IMPEDE-FX RapidFill System used in this study is classified as investigational, which means it has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
