Branch stent graft for fixing aorta problems in the chest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a “branch” stent graft can safely repair certain problems in the descending aorta (the big blood vessel in the chest). It may help by sealing the problem while keeping blood flow to an important branch vessel in the left upper chest area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 or older and can (or your legal representative can) sign consent
- You have a chest aorta problem (like dissection, IMH, ULP, or PAU) that needs surgery/repair with a graft near the left side in Zone 2
- Your artery sizes and lengths fit the device plan (specific inner diameters and landing lengths)
- Your landing areas are not “heavily clogged” (heavy calcium or heavy clots/thrombosis)
- Your left subclavian artery (LSA) area fits key size and length rules
- You do not have major exclusion issues, like active infection, very low kidney function, recent heart attack/stroke, pregnancy/breastfeeding, or contrast allergy

This trial tests a special stent-graft designed for aortic arch aneurysms or ulcers that need treatment near the heart. It might be an option if you are not a good candidate for open surgery.
This trial studies different custom and modified stent-grafts (tiny metal-reinforced tubes placed inside the aorta) to repair difficult aortic aneurysms and dissections. It aims to see which approach best fits your aortic shape and helps keep blood flowing safely.
This study looks at using special branched stent-grafts to treat problems in the aortic arch (such as aneurysm or certain tears). It focuses on how well this approach works and how patients do over follow-up visits.
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 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 study tracks how well two types of stents (Castor and Cratos) work for people who have had a repair of the main artery in the chest (the aortic arch). If you already received one of these stents during your procedure, the study will follow your recovery and any future aortic events.
