Stent repair versus best medical care for type B dissection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- You have a type B aortic dissection that is “uncomplicated,” with symptoms starting within the last 30 days
- Your pain and blood pressure can be controlled with up to 3 IV blood-pressure medicines, and you’ve been stabilized
- You can get a contrast CT scan (or similar imaging) of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis before starting
- You can sign consent and agree to follow study visits and testing
- Some major exclusions apply: no type A dissection, no complicated dissection, and your blood-vessel anatomy must be suitable for the stent procedure

This trial tests two different stent procedures to repair a torn aorta in people with severe narrowing that limits blood flow to organs. It compares the usual stent method with a new one to see which gives better results.
This trial tests a combination of stents to treat a tear in the aorta (the main artery), which is an emergency. The treatment aims to cover the tear and support the artery to prevent further damage, potentially improving outcomes.
This trial studies which treatment is best for people with a recent, “uncomplicated” type B aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta). It may help doctors choose safer care for patients whose dissection has not yet caused major complications.
This study tests a minimally invasive procedure called TEVAR to repair a type B aortic dissection (a tear in the wall of the main artery from your heart). It may help prevent further damage and improve recovery.
This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure (TEVAR) can improve blood flow and help the aorta heal in people with a certain type of aortic dissection. It may be an option if your dissection is causing symptoms or is at high risk of complications.
This trial tests a special stent graft for people with a type B aortic dissection that needs a new blood flow path to the left subclavian artery. The device is placed in the aortic arch to repair the tear and keep blood flowing normally.
