Study to predict outcomes in aortic dissection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study collects medical information and blood-test timing data to learn how to diagnose aortic dissection sooner and predict outcomes. It may help doctors better plan care for people with suspected or confirmed aortic dissection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were evaluated by a surgical team for suspected or confirmed aortic dissection
- Your symptoms were concerning for a life-threatening problem (not clearly another illness)
- You did not have major recent blood transfusions (red cells, whole blood, or platelets) within 10 days of the blood sample
- You did not have conditions that can confuse the results, such as major lung disease, active cancer, or kidney problems
- You were not being seen only for routine checkups after a surgery

This trial is studying treatments for people with a sudden tear in the main artery from the heart (type A aortic dissection) or a similar condition. It aims to improve outcomes after this emergency.
This study looks at the features and outcomes of aortic dissection in Chinese patients. It aims to better understand the condition and improve care.
This trial tests new strategies for patients with a severe aortic tear (type A aortic dissection) that has caused blockages in blood vessels, leading to organ damage. It aims to find the best approach to restore blood flow and improve outcomes.
This trial compares two surgical methods for repairing the main artery (aorta) after a tear (dissection) that starts in the upper chest. One method replaces part of the aorta, and the other adds a stent. The goal is to find which approach works better for patients.
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 trial tests a personalized exercise program for people who had a serious tear in the aorta (aortic dissection) and were treated with a stent or graft. The goal is to help you recover safely and improve your strength and well-being.
