Testing treatment for uncomplicated type B aortic tear
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older when you sign consent
- Your type B aortic dissection was diagnosed less than 4 weeks ago
- Your dissection must be “uncomplicated,” not the complicated type
- You have not had previous descending aorta surgery or TEVAR (a stent procedure)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

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 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.
This trial compares two surgical approaches for a dangerous tear/dissection of the aorta in the upper chest area. It looks at whether repairing the aortic arch (the curved part of the main blood vessel) improves outcomes compared with not repairing it.
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.
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 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.
