1. Outcomes of Open and Endovascular Repair for Ruptured and Non-Ruptured Internal Iliac Artery Aneurysms

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate different techniques to repair internal iliac artery aneurysms. Report short and long term clinical outcomes with markers of pelvic perfustion.  Compare partial pelvic perfusion preservation with bilateral complete preservation.

2. (FMD Impact Registry) Fibromuscular Dysplasia Findings and Outcomes

   Rochester, Minn.

   To describe the clinical, laboratory, pathologic, imaging findings, therapy and outcomes in all patients with Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) and/or segmental arterial mediolysis evaluated at Mayo Clinic retrospectively (back to 01/01/1990) and prospectively (starting 04/13/2016).

3. A Study of Long-term Symptom Improvement and Recurrence After Operative Management of Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term symptom resolution and quality of life improvements after operative management of median arcurate ligament syndrome (MALS).

4. A Study to Evaluate the Process of Aging in Human Atherosclerosis

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to critically test the hypothesis that senescent-cell derived factors (cell aging), in particular IGFBP3, suppress the innate repair capacity of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) in human atherosclerosis.

5. A Study of Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) Adherence and Vessel Wall Penetration Following Intra-arterial Delivery Subsequent to Controlled Balloon Angioplasty

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of MSCs that adhere to predetermined areas of arterial wall following balloon angioplasty vs no intervention, and to characterize the effect of intra-arterial injection of MSCs on predetermined areas of arterial wall via transcriptome analysis.

6. Carotid Revascularization and Medical Management for Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis Trial

   Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   Carotid revascularization for primary prevention of stroke (CREST-2) is two independent multicenter, randomized controlled trials of carotid revascularization and intensive medical management versus medical management alone in patients with asymptomatic high-grade carotid stenosis. One trial will randomize patients in a 1:1 ratio to endarterectomy versus no endarterectomy and another will randomize patients in a 1:1 ratio to carotid stenting with embolic protection versus no stenting. Medical management will be uniform for all randomized treatment groups and will be centrally directed.

7. A Study to Collect Thoracic Specimens to Develop a Thoracic Specimen Registry

   Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

   The primary objective of this proposal is to develop a Thoracic Specimen Registry at Mayo Clinic. The purpose of the registry will be to support ongoing research in the etiology, early diagnosis, clinical management, and prognosis of lung cancer and other cancers and diseases of the thorax by developing a complete repository of specimens from patients with thoracic disease including but not limited to suspected lung cancer, mediastinal and pleural tumors and from patients at a very high risk of developing other thoracic cancers or other thoracic diseases. 

8. Evaluation of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis in the Treatment of Thoracoabdominal and Pararenal Aortic Aneurysms

   Rochester, Minn.

   Prospective, non-randomized, , multicenter study with two independent arms: * Primary Study Arm - TAAA and Pararenal aneurysms requiring only TAMBE System. Hypothesis-driven analysis. * Up to 65 additional subjects may be implanted in Continued Access Phase under the Primary Study Arm only * Secondary Study Arm - TAAA requiring TAMBE System and CTAG Device(s). Non hypothesis-driven analysis. Minimum: 122 implanted subjects. Maximum: 202 implanted subjects with up to 65 additional subjects implanted in Continued Access (Primary Study arm)

9. Study to Determine the Accuracy of a New Venous Air Plethysmograph in People with Normal, Incompetent, and Obstructed Venous Hemodynamics.

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value) of a new venous air plethysmograph in people with normal, incompetent, and obstructed venous hemodynamics.

10. Estimation of Biomechanical Aortic Wall Properties in Healthy and Aneurysmal Aortas Using Novel Imaging Techniques

    Jacksonville, Fla.

    The primary aim of this study is to establish the practicality of using two novel imaging modalities for the assessment of biomechanical properties of the aorta.
