Prevention of Colon Ischemia During Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Repair
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT00671203
Purpose
Patients undergoing surgery on their Aorta can get ischemia, a lack of blood flow, to their
intestines and colon. This is very serious, as 2 out of 3 patients who have this problem die
before leaving the hospital. A device developed by Spectros, called T-Stat, is approved by
the US FDA to detect ischemia, and has been reported to detect ischemia in AAA aneurysm
surgery and stenting, allowing the surgeon or interventional radiologist to take action
quickly, while the colon ischemia is still treatable.
This purpose of this study is to establish how T-Stat can best be used to prevent deaths.
