Recruiting studies
- NCT03746964Recruiting
MRI study of the heart’s aorta before planned surgery
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure how the ascending aorta (a large blood vessel) moves and behaves before planned surgery. It may help doctors better understand the mechanics of an aortic aneurysm and improve future surgical planning.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT03536312Recruiting
Surgery versus monitoring for enlarged ascending aorta
This trial compares two ways to treat an enlarged (bigger) ascending aorta: having surgery now versus careful imaging follow-up (surveillance). It may help you and your care team decide which approach lowers the risk of serious problems for aneurysms in a specific size range.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–79 - NCT04372563Recruiting
Check treatment for aortic enlargement with tricuspid valve
This trial studies how to treat an enlarged part of the ascending aorta in people who have a tricuspid aortic valve. It may help slow or manage the risk connected to aorta enlargement.
TomskAges 45–75 - NCT07695545Recruiting
Lipid metabolism study in ascending aortic aneurysm
This study looks at how fat metabolism and cell energy centers (mitochondria) work in patients having surgery for an ascending aortic aneurysm. It aims to understand differences between people with bicuspid or tricuspid aortic valves.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT07386028Recruiting
Large chest cut vs small chest cut for aorta repair
This trial compares two surgical approaches for repairing an enlarged ascending aorta: the standard large chest incision and a smaller incision through the breastbone. It aims to see if the smaller cut leads to faster recovery.
TomskAges 18–80 - NCT01524211Recruiting
Stent grafts for treating aortic aneurysms and dissections
This trial studies a special stent-graft placed inside the aorta to treat aneurysms, penetrating ulcers, or chronic dissections. It aims to see how well these branch stent grafts fit and seal the problem area while reducing the need for open surgery.
Boca Raton, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT02043691Recruiting
Testing specialized grafts to repair complex aortic problems
This trial studies different custom and modified stent-grafts (tiny metal-reinforced tubes placed inside the aorta) to repair difficult aortic aneurysms and dissections. It aims to see which approach best fits your aortic shape and helps keep blood flowing safely.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT02089607Recruiting
Fenestrated or branched stent for large aortic tears or bulges
This study tests a special type of stent-graft (a tube with branch openings) to treat large or rapidly growing aneurysms and certain aortic dissections in the chest/abdomen or aortic arch. It aims to prevent the aneurysm from rupturing and to safely restore blood flow to key branch arteries.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT03142074Recruiting
Study of how tissue works in enlarged aortic vessels
This study looks at the tissue “structure and strength” in people with a bulging (aneurysm) in the upper part of the aorta, either before symptoms or during emergency surgery. Your tissue samples help researchers understand why these aneurysms happen and how they may behave over time.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT01654133Enrolling by invitation
Testing branched stent grafts’ effect on blood flow after aortic repair
This study evaluates how well branched stent grafts work after repairing certain large or fast-growing aortic aneurysms (bulges in the main artery). It also checks blood-flow and organ function—especially flow to organs—in the weeks and months after the procedure.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 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+ - NCT07422129Recruiting
Aortic wall analysis during heart surgery
This study looks at the structure and strength of the aorta (the main artery from your heart) in patients having surgery to replace part of it or having a heart transplant. The goal is to better understand the aortic wall to improve future treatments.
Pavia, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07453251Recruiting
Tracking aortic strength for aneurysm surgery patients
This study tracks how the thickness of the aortic wall relates to strength in people having surgery for an aortic aneurysm. It aims to better understand the condition and possibly improve future care.
San Donato Milanese, MIAges 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+ - NCT06377449Recruiting
Lung ultrasound for better outcomes after heart surgery
This study tests whether using ultrasound to look at the lungs during and after heart surgery helps improve recovery. You may be eligible if you are having open-heart surgery with a heart-lung machine and meet certain health criteria.
Saint Petersburg, Sankt-PeterburgAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06520774Recruiting
A new stent-graft system for treating aortic arch aneurysms
This trial tests a special stent-graft designed for aortic arch aneurysms or ulcers that need treatment near the heart. It might be an option if you are not a good candidate for open surgery.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT05479305Recruiting
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+ - 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+ - NCT06385379Recruiting
Aortic arch repair with new stent system
This trial tests a new stent graft system (like a fabric tube on a metal cage) that is placed inside the aorta through a blood vessel in your leg. It is designed to fix problems in the aortic arch without open heart surgery, for people who are at high risk for surgery. The goal is to see how safe and effective it is over time.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT04797572Recruiting
Testing a tool to measure the aortic valve during surgery
This trial evaluates a measuring tool used during aortic valve surgery. It may help surgeons size the valve opening more accurately when treating valve leakage or a dilated (enlarged) ascending aorta.
BrusselsAges 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+ - NCT07483177RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
