Stent placement study for a torn, bulging main artery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a specialized stent (a small mesh tube) placed inside the chest and belly aorta to treat a thoracoabdominal aortic dissecting aneurysm. It may help prevent the artery from getting bigger or causing dangerous bleeding by supporting the weakened area from inside.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 18 and under 80 years old
- You have a thoracoabdominal aortic dissection with an aneurysm that meets at least one “needs treatment now” sign (size, growth, symptoms, or poor shape)
- Your blood-vessel sizes and lengths must match the trial’s measurements for where the stent can safely “anchor”
- You must have normal anchoring areas near key branch vessels (like the kidney artery area) that fit the size rules
- Your doctors must be able to reach the artery using planned access routes (like iliac, thigh, or upper limb arteries)
- You can sign consent and agree to follow-up visits

This trial tests a specialized multi-branch stent graft to treat a large or growing aneurysm in the aorta near the chest and abdomen. It mainly looks at safety and whether the stent keeps blood flowing to important arteries.
This trial tests a new multibranched stent graft system to treat thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. It may help patients who have an aneurysm that is large, growing quickly, or causing symptoms like pain.
This trial tests a new stent graft system for treating a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm, a bulging of the main blood vessel in your chest and belly. It may be an option if your aneurysm is large, growing, or causing pain and you are healthy enough for the procedure.
This trial studies a less invasive “through-the-blood-vessel” stent graft procedure for large aneurysms in the main aorta or the aortic arch. It may help reduce the risk of aneurysm rupture while avoiding open surgery for people at higher surgical risk.
This trial studies a minimally invasive (endovascular) procedure to repair large or risky aneurysms in the aorta near the chest and abdomen. It may help prevent aneurysm rupture and improve outcomes compared with other possible treatments.
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.
