Repair outcomes after acute aortic dissection surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how patients do after surgery for an urgent (acute) tear of the aorta or related bleeding in the wall of the ascending aorta. It may help doctors better understand what outcomes to expect after early emergency surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years
- Your condition involves the ascending aorta, such as an acute aortic tear (TAAD) or a blood collection in the aortic wall (intramural hematoma)
- Your symptoms began within 7 days of having surgery
- You are having your first (primary) surgical repair for this acute aortic dissection
- Any other major heart surgery at the same time is allowed

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 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.
This study tests whether repairing an enlarged or tearing (dissection) thoracic aorta using a catheter-based procedure can be safer for people who are high-risk for open surgery. It uses specialized stent grafts placed through blood vessels to seal the problem and prevent complications.
This study tests whether a stent procedure (TEVAR) can improve blood flow and healing in people with a serious aortic tear (type B dissection). It may be an option if you have complications or high-risk features from the dissection.
This trial tests a new surgical method (XJ-Procedure) for people with an acute tear in the upper part of the main artery from the heart (type A aortic dissection). It may offer a safer option for those needing 'Sun's procedure' surgery.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program is safe and helpful for people who have had surgery for a type of aortic tear (type B aortic dissection). It aims to see if exercise can improve recovery without causing complications.
