- NCT06658730Recruiting
A study to check long-term safety of a Gore thoracic stent graft
This registry study tracks patients who have or will receive a Gore thoracic stent graft to see how well the device performs over time. It helps doctors understand the device's long-term benefits and any possible complications.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07078383Recruiting
Study of the Rapidlink device for aorta repair
This trial tests a device called Rapidlink that helps repair blood vessels branching off the aorta during open heart surgery. It may be an option if you need open surgery to fix your thoracic aorta.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.

Genetic study for inherited aortic disease
This trial is for people with inherited (family-run) aortic enlargement or aneurysm caused by a specific DNA gene change. It uses genetic information to guide more precise care, which may help tailor monitoring and treatment for you and your family.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06087029Recruiting
Improving outcomes in aortic dissection
This study tests a minimally invasive procedure called TEVAR to repair a type B aortic dissection (a tear in the wall of the main artery from your heart). It may help prevent further damage and improve recovery.

What taking part in a aortic dissection study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
