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 - NCT02622542Recruiting
Stent repair versus best medical care for type B dissection
This trial compares an endovascular stent (placed through blood vessels) to best medical therapy (blood pressure and pain control) for certain “uncomplicated” type B aortic dissections. It aims to see which approach works better in the early period after symptoms start.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04631770Recruiting
Mediastinal node removal versus sparing nodes for early lung nodule
This trial compares two surgical approaches for people with a single small, noncancer-looking lung nodule (a GGN) that is diagnosed as very early lung cancer. It aims to see whether removing mediastinal lymph nodes—or leaving them alone—can lead to better outcomes with less harm.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06024187Recruiting
Cold vs. heat cutting in nipple-sparing mastectomy
This study compares two ways of cutting tissue during nipple-sparing mastectomy (breast removal with nipple preservation) followed by immediate implant reconstruction. One method uses a cold instrument, the other uses heat (electrocautery). The goal is to see which leads to better nipple survival and healing.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06862063Recruiting
Genetic study of spontaneous neck artery tears
This study looks at the genes of people who have had a spontaneous tear in a neck artery. It aims to find if there is an underlying genetic cause, which could help guide treatment for you and your family.
Rome, LazioAges 18 years+ - NCT07315178Recruiting
Digital twin study for chronic aortic dissection
This study is creating a digital twin model to predict how chronic thoracic aortic dissection progresses. If you have a type A or type B aortic dissection, this study may help researchers better understand your condition without additional stress or invasive procedures.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06888791Recruiting
Hydro dissection for frozen shoulder: ultrasound vs X-ray guidance
This trial compares two ways to guide a fluid injection for frozen shoulder—one using ultrasound and one using X-ray. The goal is to see which technique works better to reduce pain and improve movement.
AnkaraAges 18–80 - 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.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06554652RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two neck surgeries for thyroid cancer spread
This trial compares two types of neck surgery for people with papillary thyroid cancer that has spread to a small number of lymph nodes in the neck. The goal is to see if a less extensive lymph node removal works just as well as the standard more extensive surgery.
ShanghaiAges 14–80 - 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+ - 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 - NCT03385018Recruiting
Laparoscopic total stomach surgery trial for stomach cancer
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) removal of the entire stomach, along with lymph node removal, can be done safely and effectively for certain stomach cancers. It may be an option if your cancer is in the stomach, has limited spread to nearby lymph nodes, and can be fully removed.
SeoulAges 20–80 - NCT03385720Recruiting
Saving the submandibular gland during neck surgery
This study looks at whether a specific way of doing neck surgery can help preserve the salivary gland under your jaw in people with early-stage mouth cancer. It may reduce side effects related to saliva, while treating the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 90 years - NCT07801430Recruiting
Extra lymph node removal in left lung cancer surgery
This trial compares two ways of doing lung cancer surgery for early-stage tumors in the left lung. Some participants will have more lymph nodes removed (station 4L) and others will not, to see if the extra removal helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Shanghai, XuhuiAges 18–75 - NCT06149637Recruiting
Lateral neck lymph node surgery for thyroid cancer
This trial tests a surgical procedure to remove cancer-affected lymph nodes on the side of the neck in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer. It aims to improve outcomes for those with confirmed or suspected spread to these nodes.
Medellín, AntioquiaAges 18–99 - NCT07580196Recruiting
Comparing lymph node removal approaches in aggressive prostate cancer
This trial compares two surgical approaches for removing lymph nodes during prostate cancer surgery in men with high-risk disease on one side of the prostate. The goal is to determine whether removing lymph nodes from both sides or just one side provides better outcomes.
Rozzano, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT07474935Recruiting
Real-world stroke treatment device registry
This trial collects information about the use of a specific stroke treatment device in real-world medical practice. It helps researchers see how well this device works for a wide range of patients, not just those in strict study conditions.
BrestAges Any age - NCT07401498Enrolling by invitation
Studying side effects of lymph node removal in lung cancer surgery
This trial looks at complications from removing lymph nodes during surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. It may help doctors understand how to make surgery safer.
UlyanovskAges 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+ - NCT07321210Recruiting
Lymph node surgery for high-risk upper tract cancer
This trial compares removing the kidney and ureter alone versus also removing nearby lymph nodes for high-risk upper tract urothelial cancer. It aims to see if the extra step helps improve outcomes.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07308990Recruiting
Comparing limited vs. full lymph node removal during prostate surgery
This trial compares two types of lymph node removal during prostate cancer surgery to see if removing fewer lymph nodes is just as effective. It is for men with prostate cancer that has not spread beyond the pelvis.
Lyasny, Minsk OblastAges 18 years+ - NCT07278726Recruiting
Targeted removal of only suspicious lymph nodes for early breast cancer
This trial is testing a targeted surgical approach to remove only the suspicious lymph nodes under the arm for people with early-stage, hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer. The goal is to see if this less extensive surgery is safe and effective when there is limited lymph node involvement.
Bologna, ItalyAges 18–90 - NCT06189859RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing electrical tools for POEM surgery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for dissection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 234 recruiting 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 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 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.
