Fenestrated or branched stent for large aortic tears or bulges
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have a thoracoabdominal or aortic arch aneurysm (bulge) that is large (about 5.5 cm or more) or has grown fast.
- Or you have a tear/dissection (a split in the artery wall) or an aneurysm a doctor believes is at high risk of rupture.
- Your anatomy must allow stent placement (enough safe “landing zones” and suitable artery size/shape from imaging).
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you need an expected life span of at least 2 years.
- You must agree to follow-up visits and be able to give informed consent.

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.
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.
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.
This trial tests a new stent graft (a fabric-covered metal tube) placed inside the artery to fix aneurysms or ulcers in the aortic arch without open-heart surgery. It is designed for people whose anatomy fits precise measurements and who are not good candidates for traditional surgery.
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 studies a less invasive stent procedure that blocks blood flow into certain large aneurysms in the chest-to-abdomen or upper abdomen area. It may help prevent aneurysm growth and rupture while avoiding the risks of open surgery.
