Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT06044259Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for acute aortic dissection
This trial compares two surgical methods for repairing the main artery (aorta) after a tear (dissection) that starts in the upper chest. One method replaces part of the aorta, and the other adds a stent. The goal is to find which approach works better for patients.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–80 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT04754217Recruiting
Follow-up study after valve graft replacement
This study looks at outcomes after certain heart valve surgeries using a valved graft. It may help doctors understand how well these grafts work over time in people who have had valve replacement surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 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 - 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+ - NCT07009067Recruiting
Exercise after surgery for aortic dissection: a safety study
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program is safe and helpful for people who have had surgery for a type of aortic tear (type B aortic dissection). It aims to see if exercise can improve recovery without causing complications.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05874206Recruiting
Branch stent graft for fixing aorta problems in the chest
This trial tests whether a “branch” stent graft can safely repair certain problems in the descending aorta (the big blood vessel in the chest). It may help by sealing the problem while keeping blood flow to an important branch vessel in the left upper chest area.
ZurichAges 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ascending aortic dissection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 20 recruiting ascending 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 ascending 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 ascending 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.
