Fenestration to treat aortic disease near the left subclavian artery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests two ways to create a new opening (fenestration) in a stent graft so blood can still flow to your left arm when the main artery in your chest needs repair. It is for people with aortic disease that affects the area near the left subclavian artery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a tear, bulge, ulcer, or blood clot in the main artery of your chest (thoracic aortic disease).
- You need a stent graft to fix the problem, and the graft must cover the opening to your left arm artery.
- You have healthy blood vessels in your groin, pelvis, and arm for the doctor to insert the stent graft.
- You are willing to come back for check-ups after the procedure.

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 study looks at different ways to preserve blood flow to the left arm and brain when a stent-graft is placed in the upper part of the aorta (zone 2). It compares techniques like extra grafts, branched stents, or making a new opening in the main graft to see which works best.
This study checks how well a specially designed aortic graft (a fenestrated device) works for people with specific types of enlarged or fast-growing aortic aneurysms. It may help confirm whether the device is safe and effective for preventing aneurysm problems.
This trial studies a new laser technique to repair aortic aneurysms in patients who cannot have standard open surgery. It uses a small laser to create openings in a stent-graft for blood flow to the kidneys and other organs.
This study tests a special stent graft (a fabric tube placed inside the artery) that has openings (fenestrations) to fit around other blood vessels. It is for people with an abdominal aortic aneurysm who need a custom-fit repair to keep blood flow normal.
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.
