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 study tests a personalized approach to restore blood flow when an aortic tear (acute type A dissection) blocks arteries to organs like the brain, gut, or legs. It aims to improve outcomes for people with this serious complication.
This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing a tear in the main artery (aorta) during an emergency. It aims to see if adding a stent (a small mesh tube) to the standard repair improves outcomes. Participation may help improve treatment for this serious condition.
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.
