ETTAA STUDY

ETTAA is an observational clinical trial set up to try to find the most effective treatment for a potentially fatal chest condition. Currently there are two main forms of treatment for chronic thoracic aortic aneurysm (CTAA) - open surgery and an endovascular stent graft placement - however it has not been proven which is better for the patient and most cost effective for the NHS. The ETTAA study aims to answer both of these questions by observing patients in specialist centres across the country over a period of time to see how well they do.
