Improving outcomes in aortic dissection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 21 years.
- You have a type B aortic dissection that does not reach the artery near your neck, and it has not caused a rupture or blocked blood flow to organs.
- You are between 48 hours and 6 weeks from when you were first admitted to the hospital for this dissection.
- You do not have an active infection, are not pregnant, and have no genetic condition that affects your aorta.
- You are willing and able to follow all study procedures.

This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure (TEVAR) can improve blood flow and help the aorta heal in people with a certain type of aortic dissection. It may be an option if your dissection is causing symptoms or is at high risk of complications.
This trial tests two different stent procedures to repair a torn aorta in people with severe narrowing that limits blood flow to organs. It compares the usual stent method with a new one to see which gives better results.
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.
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 combination of stents to treat a tear in the aorta (the main artery), which is an emergency. The treatment aims to cover the tear and support the artery to prevent further damage, potentially improving outcomes.
This study checks the quality of care for people with type B aortic dissection who had a procedure to repair it (TEVAR). It looks at their health over 2 years to improve treatment.
