Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT07315178Recruiting

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 - 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
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 - 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 - NCT06827990Recruiting
Stent graft for type A aortic dissection
This trial tests a stent graft device to repair a tear in the main artery from the heart (aorta). It is for people who have a high-risk condition called Type A aortic dissection and are not good candidates for open heart surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06675617Recruiting
Additional stent for type B aortic dissection treatment
This trial tests a new device, called the Allay aortic stent, that is used along with a standard stent graft to treat a type B aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta). The goal is to improve how the aorta heals and reduce complications. It is for people whose dissection extends into the abdomen and are already planned for stent grafting.
SalzburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07658651Recruiting
Plug for type B aortic dissection repair
This trial tests a special plug (WeFlow-EndoSeal) placed into the false channel of a type B aortic dissection to help seal it. It is for people who are already getting a stent-graft and aims to improve the repair.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT05803564Recruiting
Stent placement study for a torn, bulging main artery
This trial tests a specialized stent (a small mesh tube) placed inside the chest and belly aorta to treat a thoracoabdominal aortic dissecting aneurysm. It may help prevent the artery from getting bigger or causing dangerous bleeding by supporting the weakened area from inside.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT04966247Recruiting
Protecting the brain during aortic arch surgery
This study looks at ways to protect the brain during surgery on the aortic arch, which is the curved part of the main artery from the heart. The goal is to reduce the risk of brain damage during this complex operation.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT04545502Recruiting
Study of aortic grafts and heart patches after aortic surgery
This study looks at how well certain aortic grafts and cardiovascular patches work after surgery. It may help by improving care for people who need these devices, and by collecting safety and outcome information over time.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 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 - NCT02622542Recruiting
Stent repair versus best medical care for type B dissection
This trial compares an endovascular stent (placed through blood vessels) to best medical therapy (blood pressure and pain control) for certain “uncomplicated” type B aortic dissections. It aims to see which approach works better in the early period after symptoms start.
Houston, TexasAges 18 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+ - NCT07383909Recruiting
Remote ischemic preconditioning for urgent aortic dissection surgery
This study tests if a simple arm-leg blood pressure cuff procedure before surgery can help protect organs during emergency repair of a torn aorta. It may reduce complications and improve recovery after surgery.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06199401Recruiting
Testing a new surgery for type A aortic tear
This trial tests a new surgical method (XJ-Procedure) for people with an acute tear in the upper part of the main artery from the heart (type A aortic dissection). It may offer a safer option for those needing 'Sun's procedure' surgery.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–70 - NCT05215587Recruiting
Testing treatment for uncomplicated type B aortic tear
This trial studies which treatment is best for people with a recent, “uncomplicated” type B aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta). It may help doctors choose safer care for patients whose dissection has not yet caused major complications.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT03233087Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for aortic dissection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 68 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.
