Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06968806RecruitingPhase 3
Study of ketorolac for improving recovery after aortic dissection surgery
This trial tests whether ketorolac, a common pain reliever, can improve outcomes and prognosis for people having emergency surgery for a type A aortic dissection. If you are eligible and choose to join, you may receive ketorolac in addition to standard care.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT06862583Recruiting
Study of acute type A aortic dissection treatments
This trial is studying treatments for people with a sudden tear in the main artery from the heart (type A aortic dissection) or a similar condition. It aims to improve outcomes after this emergency.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06044259Recruiting
Comparing two repair methods for acute aortic dissection
This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing a tear in the main artery (aorta) during an emergency. It aims to see if adding a stent (a small mesh tube) to the standard repair improves outcomes. Participation may help improve treatment for this serious condition.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT05912634Enrolling by invitation
Repair versus not repair of aortic arch in dissection
This trial compares two surgical approaches for a dangerous tear/dissection of the aorta in the upper chest area. It looks at whether repairing the aortic arch (the curved part of the main blood vessel) improves outcomes compared with not repairing it.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18–90 - NCT05912608Enrolling by invitation
Best way to repair certain urgent aortic tears
This study looks at the best surgical strategy for repairing an acute (sudden) tear of the ascending aorta. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective repair method for people who need urgent surgery soon after symptoms begin.
Saint-DenisAges 18–90 - NCT05927090Enrolling by invitation
Repair outcomes after acute aortic dissection surgery
This study looks at how patients do after surgery for an urgent (acute) tear of the aorta or related bleeding in the wall of the ascending aorta. It may help doctors better understand what outcomes to expect after early emergency surgery.
Saint-DenisAges 18–90 - NCT03885635Recruiting
Compare two surgeries for type 1 aortic dissection
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for adults who need emergency surgery for a specific kind of torn aorta (type 1 aortic dissection). It may help your surgical team choose the safest, most effective operation for people with your anatomy and health status.
London, OntarioAges 18–70 - NCT04746677Recruiting
Stent repair for complex aortic problems when standard options fail
This trial tests whether a specially built stent-graft made for your anatomy can be done safely and effectively for complex aortic disease. It may help people who are too risky for open surgery or who cannot wait for a standard custom device to be made.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT02043691Recruiting
Testing specialized grafts to repair complex aortic problems
This trial studies different custom and modified stent-grafts (tiny metal-reinforced tubes placed inside the aorta) to repair difficult aortic aneurysms and dissections. It aims to see which approach best fits your aortic shape and helps keep blood flowing safely.
