Stent placement for thoracic aorta problems in urgent high-risk patients
This trial studies a new type of stent graft placed in the chest aorta (from the aortic arch into the descending part) to treat aneurysms or dissections in people who are too high-risk for open surgery. It may help by offering a faster, less invasive repair when waiting for a custom stent would be unsafe.
BrestAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06353607Recruiting
Genetics of aortic aneurysm and dissection
This study looks at the genetic reasons behind aortic aneurysms and sudden aortic tears. By studying people who had surgery at the University Hospital Basel, researchers hope to find inherited patterns that could help predict and prevent these serious conditions.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07672210Recruiting
Pregnancy-related aortic dissection in China
This study is looking at cases of aortic dissection that happen during pregnancy or shortly after childbirth in China. It aims to understand how these events occur and how they can best be managed.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 16–55 - NCT04747626Recruiting
Stent-based repair for damaged upper aorta segments
This trial studies a specific surgical approach using branched stents to repair multiple damaged parts of the upper (thoracic) aorta. It may help people who need urgent or complex aortic repair and are expected to survive more than two years.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02306200Recruiting
A study to improve heart and aorta health
This trial looks at ways to improve cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health, especially conditions that affect the aorta, such as aneurysms, or vascular problems that may run in families. If you have an aortic-related or other cardiovascular diagnosis (or you’re a healthy comparison participant), you may be invited to take part in this health-improvement program.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges Any age - 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+ - NCT07438327Recruiting
AI study to improve heart and aorta CT analysis
This trial uses artificial intelligence to better analyze CT scans of the aorta, the large artery that carries blood from your heart. If your CT scan shows the aorta is partly cut off or missing in the images, the AI will help measure the parts that are fully visible.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 22 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05530304Recruiting
Aortic arch stent procedure registry for adults
This study tracks outcomes after a specific aortic arch stent procedure using a device with three inner branches. It’s mainly a registry, meaning researchers follow people over time to learn how safe and effective the procedure is.
MünsterAges Any age - 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.
