Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06044259Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for acute aortic dissection
This trial compares two surgical methods for repairing the main artery (aorta) after a tear (dissection) that starts in the upper chest. One method replaces part of the aorta, and the other adds a stent. The goal is to find which approach works better for patients.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT07089576Recruiting
Study of the Arcevo LSA device for aortic arch repair
This trial tests a new device called Arcevo LSA to treat certain types of aortic arch problems, like dissections (tears) or aneurysms (bulges). It is for people who need open surgery, and the device helps fix the left subclavian artery area.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT06968806RecruitingPhase 3
Ketorolac for type A aortic dissection surgery
This trial tests if giving ketorolac (a pain and inflammation medicine) during emergency surgery for a specific type of aortic tear (Stanford type A) can improve recovery and long-term outcomes. It's for patients aged 18 to 65 who need urgent surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–65 - 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+ - NCT07405242Recruiting
Treatment for retrograde aortic dissection with a stent graft
This trial tests a stent-graft procedure for a specific type of aortic dissection where the tear starts in the arch or descending aorta and extends backward into the ascending aorta. It is for patients who are not good candidates for open surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 65 years+ - NCT06966687Enrolling by invitation
Ulinastatin and thymosin for immune support after aortic dissection surgery
This trial tests whether two anti-inflammatory drugs, ulinastatin and thymosin α1, can help protect your immune system and organs after emergency surgery for a torn aorta (aortic dissection). If you qualify and take part, you may receive these medications in addition to standard care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for aortic dissection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 67 recruiting 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 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 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.
