Official Title: Prophylactic Mesh Implantation After Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair. A Prospective, Randomised, Controlled Study

Summary

AIDA Study is a prospective, multicentre, randomized, controlled clinical investigation with patients undergoing median laparotomy for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) repair. The primary objective of the clinical investigation is to test the hypothesis that insertion of an Optilene® Mesh Elastic mesh - a monofilament, light-weight, large pore sized, polypropylene mesh manufactured by Aesculap AG - is superior to suturing alone and will reduce the hernia formation rate within the first 2 years. A reduction from 30% to 10% of the patient population is assumed.

Phase: Phase 4
