Pythagoras: Prospective Aneurysm Trial: High Angle Aorfix Bifurcated Stent Graft
The Pythagoras trial is intended to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the Lombard Medical bifurcated endovascular stent graft (Aorfix) in the treatment of abdominal aortic, aorto-iliac and common iliac aneurysms with necks of up to 60 degrees.
Principal Investigators
Joseph L. Mills, Sr., MD The trial will consist of two arms: an endovascular treatment arm featuring Aorfix in aneurysms with suitable anatomy and a control arm featuring open surgical repair. Follow-up for both arms will be for up to 12 months. Data collection will occur at the pre-, intra-, and post- operative points, and at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months. Measures of effectiveness and safety are intended to analyze and assess the non-inferiority of Aorfix contrasted to open surgical repair for AAA.
