About this trial
This randomized controlled trial aim to determine the impact on renal function after treatment for infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with stentgrafts either with active supra- or infrarenal fixation.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Willing and able to provide written informed consent
Meet criteria for non-ruptured infrarenal/iliac aneurysm
Suitable anatomy for treatment with an approved device (CE-marked) stentgraft according to the manufacturers' instructions for use for AAA.
Accepted for treatment with endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) by the participating vascular center.
Disqualifiers
Ongoing or planned dialysis
AAA treatment requiring stents or stentgrafts in renal and/or visceral arteries
Inability to independently complete HRQoL questionnaires due to language barriers
Anatomical preconditions that do not allow both types of fixation to be used interchangeably, i.e. very advanced suprarenal tortuosity (>60 degrees), advanced suprarenal dilatation or infrarenal thrombus >25% of circumference.
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Stentgraft
DeviceStentgraft treatment for AAA. Comparison between supra vs infrarenal fixation.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of participants with decreased renal function (composite endpoint together with the endpoint below)
Decrease of more than 20 percent in estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) after stentgraft treatment.
Number of participants with new renal infarct
Diagnosed new renal infarct on CT scan after treatment
Secondary outcomes
Number of participants with decreased renal function and new renal infarct (Analysis of the individual components of the primary composite endpoint at 1, 3 and 5 years).
Analysis of individual endpoints (decrease of more than 20 percent in estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) after stentgraft treatment and diagnosed new renal infarct on CT scan after treatment).
Number of participants with decreased score in quality of life-questionnaire
Change in life quality questionnaire (Research and development questionnaire 36 (RAND-36)) one and three years after surgery compared with baseline data collected prior to surgery. Score in the scale are between 0 and 100 and decreased score indicate worse outcome.
Number of participants with stentgraft thrombosis
Occurence of stentgraft thrombosis postoperatively at 1 month, 1, 3 and 5 years.
Number of participants with aneurysm related mortality
Aneurysm related mortality postoperatively at 1 month, 1, 3 and 5 years.
Other outcomes
Number of participants with migration (Safety endpoint composite together with the endpoints below)
Migration (stentgraft migration more than 3mm) postoperatively at 1 month, 1, 3 and 5 years.
Number of participants with diagnosed endoleak
Re-intervention for endoleak postoperatively at 1 month, 1, 3 and 5 years.
Number of participants with aortic rupture
Occurence of postoperative aortic rupture postoperatively at 1 month, 1, 3 and 5 years.
Number of participants with renal artery thrombosis
Postoperative renal artery thrombosis postoperatively at 1 month, 1, 3 and 5 years.
