Recruiting studies
- NCT05479305Recruiting
Stent placement for thoracic aorta problems in urgent high-risk patients
This trial studies a new type of stent graft placed in the chest aorta (from the aortic arch into the descending part) to treat aneurysms or dissections in people who are too high-risk for open surgery. It may help by offering a faster, less invasive repair when waiting for a custom stent would be unsafe.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT04747626Recruiting
Stent-based repair for damaged upper aorta segments
This trial studies a specific surgical approach using branched stents to repair multiple damaged parts of the upper (thoracic) aorta. It may help people who need urgent or complex aortic repair and are expected to survive more than two years.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02323581Recruiting
Stent procedure for large aortic aneurysms with custom grafts
This trial studies a less invasive “through-the-blood-vessel” stent graft procedure for large aneurysms in the main aorta or the aortic arch. It may help reduce the risk of aneurysm rupture while avoiding open surgery for people at higher surgical risk.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04962646Recruiting
Breathing extra carbon dioxide during surgery to prevent brain injury
This trial tests whether giving extra carbon dioxide during surgery can reduce the chance of new brain or nervous system injury after surgery for a sudden, life-threatening tear in the big artery (type A aortic dissection). It may help by protecting the brain while the surgical team repairs the artery.
LundAges 18 years+ - NCT05800743Enrolling by invitation
Stent grafts for high-risk ascending aorta problems
This study tests a new stent graft placed through the groin/back to treat problems in the ascending aorta (and sometimes the arch), usually when open-heart surgery is considered too risky. Doctors will check whether the device is safe and works well over time, including imaging and a long follow-up.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06550986Recruiting
Polymer device to close false lumen in type B dissection
This trial tests a new polymer device to close the false lumen (an extra channel) in the aorta for people with type B aortic dissection. It may prevent the aorta from growing and reduce the risk of complications.
AucklandAges 18 years+ - NCT04398992Recruiting
Anti-inflammatory add-on treatment after certain aortic conditions
This study tests whether an “add-on” anti-inflammatory approach can help after surgery for certain problems affecting the aorta (the body’s main artery) soon after symptoms begin. It may be designed to reduce inflammation-related complications in people who are treated quickly and can join follow-up.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06195267Recruiting
Sivelestat for lung protection during emergency aortic surgery
This study tests whether a drug called sivelestat can protect your lungs and other organs during emergency surgery for a very serious aortic tear. If you qualify, you would receive the drug or a placebo right before and after surgery.
BeijingAges 18–90 - NCT06434389Recruiting
Rapid fibrinogen test during aortic dissection surgery
This trial tests a new device that quickly measures fibrinogen (a protein that helps blood clot) from a small blood sample during surgery for type A aortic dissection. It aims to help doctors make faster decisions about blood clotting treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute aortic dissection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 33 recruiting acute aortic dissection studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a acute aortic dissection trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute aortic dissection trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
