Recruiting studies
- 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.

Reducing air bubbles during aortic repair with carbon dioxide
This trial tests a special flushing method using carbon dioxide gas to prevent air bubbles from entering the bloodstream during a procedure to fix the main artery in the chest. This could help avoid strokes or other complications.
Bologna, ItalyAges 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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 - NCT04005976Recruiting
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.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT04197648Recruiting
Supervised exercise study for certain thoracic aneurysms
This study looks at whether a supervised exercise program is safe and helpful for people with a thoracic (chest) aortic aneurysm. You may be able to join if your aneurysm size fits their range and you can safely attend training visits.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04246463Recruiting
Aortic stent graft patient registry to track outcomes
This study is a registry that follows people who receive an aortic endovascular (through-the-blood-vessel) stent graft. It helps doctors understand how well these grafts work and what outcomes happen over time.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT04523909Recruiting
Testing spinal fluid inflammation changes after aortic surgery
This study tracks inflammation-related lab markers in spinal fluid taken through a temporary drain during and after thoracic aortic surgery. It may help doctors understand what inflammatory changes happen around surgery and how they relate to recovery.
NijmegenAges 18 years+ - NCT04524247Recruiting
Testing a custom stent graft for frail aortic aneurysms
This study looks at a specialized, customized stent graft to treat certain aneurysms (bulges) of the aorta in people who may be considered frail. It’s meant to see how well the device works and how safely it can be used in patients who fit specific aneurysm patterns.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05309707Recruiting
Branched stents for certain aortic arch problems
This study looks at using special branched stent-grafts to treat problems in the aortic arch (such as aneurysm or certain tears). It focuses on how well this approach works and how patients do over follow-up visits.
MadridAges 18–90 - NCT05339061Recruiting
Modified stent graft for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms
This study tests a specially customized endovascular (through blood vessels) repair for certain large or fast-growing aneurysms near the kidney area or chest-to-abdomen area. It may help people who are higher risk for open surgery and whose anatomy fits the device.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05395598Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for large aortic root aneurysm risks
This study follows people with an enlarged aortic root to track how often serious complications happen over time. It may help doctors understand risk and improve care by observing outcomes for up to five years.
Lille, Please Choose...Ages 45–80 - NCT05777460Recruiting
Testing custom-made devices for the thoracic aorta
This trial looks at the longer-term results of custom-made devices placed in the thoracic aorta (the main blood vessel in the chest). It may help patients learn how well these tailored devices work over time.
Roma, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT05803564Recruiting
Stent placement study for a torn, bulging main artery
This trial tests a specialized stent (a small mesh tube) placed inside the chest and belly aorta to treat a thoracoabdominal aortic dissecting aneurysm. It may help prevent the artery from getting bigger or causing dangerous bleeding by supporting the weakened area from inside.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06332911Recruiting
Shockwave balloon to help place aortic stent graft
This trial tests a special balloon that uses shock waves to crack calcium in the iliac arteries, making room for a larger aortic stent graft. It is for people with a bulging aorta (aneurysm) who also have heavily calcified or narrow iliac arteries that would otherwise prevent the graft from passing through.
Münich, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06336213Recruiting
Using a blood test to guide antibiotics in aorta surgery
This trial checks if a blood test called presepsin can help doctors decide when to use antibiotics in patients having surgery on the chest's main artery (the thoracic aorta). It is for people with an aneurysm or tear in that artery.
Moscow, MoscowAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT06501872Recruiting
Custom stent-graft for large chest and belly aneurysms
This study tests a special stent-graft, custom-shaped by your doctor to fit your aneurysm while keeping blood flow to important organs like your kidneys and stomach. It's for people with large aneurysms in the chest and belly who cannot safely have open surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for thoracic aortic aneurysm?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 63 recruiting thoracic aortic aneurysm 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 thoracic aortic aneurysm 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 thoracic aortic aneurysm 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.
