Testing branched stent grafts’ effect on blood flow after aortic repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older (and, for the arch/ascending group, not pregnant or breastfeeding)
- You must be able and willing to follow the study’s follow-up visits for life (one group) or after enrollment
- You must have aortic anatomy that matches the study’s required graft types (branched/custom options)
- The aneurysm must meet size/growth/rupture-risk needs set by the study team
- You must be able to receive the procedure safely, including enough groin/leg blood-vessel access
- You cannot have certain allergies, severe contrast reaction, leaking/ruptured aneurysm with low blood pressure, or major clotting problems

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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.
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.
This study checks how well a specially designed aortic graft (a fenestrated device) works for people with specific types of enlarged or fast-growing aortic aneurysms. It may help confirm whether the device is safe and effective for preventing aneurysm problems.
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.
This trial collects follow-up data from patients who received special branched stent grafts (tube-like devices) to treat complex aortic aneurysms (weakened areas of the main blood vessel). The study helps confirm these devices work safely over time.
