Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06915545Recruiting
Studying a new stent graft for type B aortic dissection
This trial tests a special stent graft for people with a type B aortic dissection that needs a new blood flow path to the left subclavian artery. The device is placed in the aortic arch to repair the tear and keep blood flowing normally.
ChangshaAges 18–80 - NCT05896397Recruiting
Collecting European data for Cook aortic medical devices
This study collects information from routine care about patients who receive a Cook CMD. It may help improve how these devices are used and tracked over time by using medical record data.
Aarhus, DenmarkAges Any age - NCT06385379Recruiting
Aortic arch repair with new stent system
This trial tests a new stent graft system (like a fabric tube on a metal cage) that is placed inside the aorta through a blood vessel in your leg. It is designed to fix problems in the aortic arch without open heart surgery, for people who are at high risk for surgery. The goal is to see how safe and effective it is over time.
BeijingAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT01524211Recruiting
Stent grafts for treating aortic aneurysms and dissections
This trial studies a special stent-graft placed inside the aorta to treat aneurysms, penetrating ulcers, or chronic dissections. It aims to see how well these branch stent grafts fit and seal the problem area while reducing the need for open surgery.
Boca Raton, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06235619Recruiting
Aortic arch size study
This study looks at the shape and size of the aortic arch (the main artery from your heart) using CT scans. It helps doctors better understand normal variations in anatomy.
Milan, ItalyAges birth–100 years - NCT00583817Enrolling by invitation
Endovascular repair for thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections
This study tests whether repairing an enlarged or tearing (dissection) thoracic aorta using a catheter-based procedure can be safer for people who are high-risk for open surgery. It uses specialized stent grafts placed through blood vessels to seal the problem and prevent complications.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05636527Recruiting
NEXUS aortic arch stent graft safety study
This study checks how safe and well the NEXUS device works for repairing the aorta in the arch area. You may qualify if you need this type of aortic repair and your health supports the procedure.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07150559Recruiting
Arch-clamping under mild cooling for acute aortic dissection
This trial tests a surgical technique called arch-clamping under mild hypothermia (cooling the body slightly during surgery) to treat acute type A aortic dissection. It may help patients who need immediate total aortic arch replacement.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT05309707Recruiting
Branched stents for certain aortic arch problems
This study looks at using special branched stent-grafts to treat problems in the aortic arch (such as aneurysm or certain tears). It focuses on how well this approach works and how patients do over follow-up visits.
