Testing a new surgery for type A aortic tear
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have a type A aortic tear (acute) and your doctor has recommended 'Sun's procedure' surgery.
- You do not have severe damage to the aortic root, like a root larger than 45 mm, a tear, or combined valve disease.
- You have not had prior surgery on your heart or aorta.
- You do not have severe complications like stroke, coma, poor blood flow to organs or legs, or organ failure.
- You are not pregnant or unable to consent to the study.

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 study compares two surgeries to repair a dangerous tear in the aorta, which is the main blood vessel from the heart. The goal is to see which surgery is better for people whose tear is in the upper part of the aorta.
This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing a tear in the main artery (aorta) during an emergency. It aims to see if adding a stent (a small mesh tube) to the standard repair improves outcomes. Participation may help improve treatment for this serious condition.
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 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 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.
