University of Utah PS-IDE: Physician Modified Endovascular Grafts for the Treatment of Elective, Symptomatic or Ruptured Juxtarenal Aortic Aneurysms
Sponsor: Cali Johnson
Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of a physician-modified endovascular graft (PMEG) for juxtarenal aortic aneurysms by collecting data on its performance. Participants in the study will undergo surgery to repair their juxtarenal aortic aneurysm using the PMEG device. After the surgery, participants will attend several follow-up visits to monitor their recovery and the device's effectiveness. These follow-up visits will take place at hospital discharge, then at 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, and once a year for up to 5 years after surgery.

Endovascular Aneurysm Repair with Physician Modified Endograft
The surgeon will make an incision to access the femoral artery and insert a thin wire to guide the catheter to the juxtarenal aortic aneurysm. The main graft will be modified by hand to match the participant's anatomy, then reloaded and guided through the artery to the aorta. Once in place, the graft will be deployed, and additional stents will be inserted into vital arteries that supply the kidneys and bowels. Two smaller grafts will be placed into the iliac arteries.This allows blood to flow to the target organs and legs, protecting the aneurysm from rupture. All catheters will then be removed, leaving the graft in place, and the incisions will be closed.
