In plain English
This trial compares two types of stent graft (a tube placed inside a blood vessel to repair a swollen artery in the tummy, called an abdominal aortic aneurysm). One is the Medtronic Endurant II/IIs system and the other is the Gore Excluder device. The sponsor is Medtronic Cardiovascular.
Who can take part
- You agree to return for all required follow-up visits
- You (or your representative) sign the informed consent form
- Your aneurysm is at least 5 cm if you are a woman, or 5.5 cm if you are a man (or as stated in regional addenda)
- The shape of your aneurysm is suitable for both stent graft types, according to your doctor and the study's central review team
Who may not be able to
- You are taking part in another study of a drug or device that could affect this trial's results
- Your life expectancy is 3 years or less
- Your aneurysm is in certain positions or types: above or near the kidneys, in the groin/pelvic arteries only, infected, inflammatory, a pseudoaneurysm, involves a tear (dissection) of the aorta or pelvic arteries, has ruptured, or is causing symptoms
- You have significant blood clots or calcium at the places where the device would be implanted
- You need emergency treatment, for example after injury or rupture
- You have a connective tissue disease such as Marfan, Ehlers-Danlos or Loeys-Dietz syndrome
- You have had previous surgery or stent treatment on the abdominal aorta or pelvic (iliac) arteries
- The plan is to use an aorto-uni-iliac device (a stent graft going to only one leg artery)
- Extra devices beyond the standard ones are planned (for example anchors, special limb devices, or blocking-off procedures)
- The plan involves covering the internal iliac artery (arteries in the pelvis)
- Your kidney function is low (eGFR under 45) or you are on dialysis
- You have a systemic infection that could raise the risk of graft infection
- You have a psychiatric or other condition that could interfere with the trial
- You could be pregnant
- You are allergic to or cannot take blood-thinning medicines or contrast dye (the liquid used for scans)
- You belong to a group considered vulnerable, in the researcher's judgment
- You have an active COVID-19 infection or a relevant history of COVID-19
What taking part involves
- • The trial compares two stent graft systems used to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm from inside the blood vessel: the Medtronic Endurant II/IIs Stent Graft System and the Gore Excluder AAA Endoprosthesis
- • Which system you receive is decided by randomisation (like a coin toss)
- • Further details of the procedures and tests involved are not stated — ask the trial team
Time commitment: Not stated — ask the trial team. The trial requires you to attend all follow-up visits after the procedure.

About This Trial
The purpose of this trial is to generate clinical evidence related to key performance outcomes of Endurant II/IIs Stent Graft Systems verses Gore Excluder / Excluder Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis in subjects with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms. Subjects are randomized and imaging collected at all follow-up time points to assess the primary endpoint.
More detail
This is a post-market, prospective, interventional, global, multi-center, randomized, dual-arm clinical trial. The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate sac regression outcomes of the Medtronic Endurant II/IIs Stent Graft System and Gore Excluder/Excluder Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis in standard EVAR subjects. Subjects are randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive EVAR with either a Medtronic Endurant II/IIs Stent Graft Systems or Gore Excluder / Excluder Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis. Data is collected pre- and post-procedure at discharge, at 30 days, and once a year until the 5-year follow-up is completed. Approximately 600 subjects are planned to be enrolled at up to 100 sites globally. Product Names: * Medtronic Endurant II/IIs Stent Graft System * Gore Excluder and/or Gore Excluder Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis Imaging is collected for all follow-up time points and are evaluated by a core lab for the key primary and secondary objectives.
