Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 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 - NCT02201589Recruiting
Endovascular repair for certain ascending aorta problems
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive (endovascular) procedure can safely treat specific serious problems of the ascending aorta. It may help people who are too high-risk for standard open-heart surgery, but only if their anatomy fits and certain risks are ruled out.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04524247Recruiting
Testing a custom stent graft for frail aortic aneurysms
This study looks at a specialized, customized stent graft to treat certain aneurysms (bulges) of the aorta in people who may be considered frail. It’s meant to see how well the device works and how safely it can be used in patients who fit specific aneurysm patterns.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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+ - 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 - NCT02266719Enrolling by invitation
Fenestrated branched stents for complex aortic aneurysms and safety
This trial studies a specialized endovascular (through-the-vessel) repair using fenestrated and branched stents to treat complex aortic aneurysms and related dissections. It aims to track clinical outcomes and how much radiation exposure is used during the procedure to improve safety.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07049913Recruiting
Gore TBE trial for descending thoracic aorta conditions in Japan
This trial tests a device called the GORE TAG Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis (TBE) for people with certain diseases in the descending part of the main artery in the chest. It's designed to treat conditions like aortic aneurysm, traumatic tears, or complex aortic dissections while keeping blood flow to a key artery in the left arm.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for aortic dissection type a?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 34 recruiting aortic dissection type a 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 type a 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 type a 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.
