Conditions

ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSMS

Keywords

AAA, Aneurysm, AneuRx, Talent

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to compare endovascular repair using any FDA approved Medtronic AAA Stent Graft System versus surveillance in subjects with smaller abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA)(4-5CM), with respect to AAA rupture and AAA related deaths.

Interventions

DEVICEAneuRx AAA stent graft / Talent AAA stent graft

Catheter based stent graft inserted to seal off an abdominal aortic aneurysm
