Optimized treatment for aortic dissection with malperfusion
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests new strategies for patients with a severe aortic tear (type A aortic dissection) that has caused blockages in blood vessels, leading to organ damage. It aims to find the best approach to restore blood flow and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with an acute type A aortic dissection (a tear in the main artery from the heart) within the last 2 weeks.
- You have new signs that this tear is blocking blood flow to organs, such as chest pain, confusion, belly pain, or abnormal lab tests.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You do not have life-threatening complications like heart sac compression (cardiac tamponade) or a ruptured aorta when you arrive at the hospital.
- You have not had a cardiac arrest requiring ongoing CPR, and you do not have irreversible multiple organ failure.

This trial compares two surgical methods for repairing the main artery (aorta) after a tear (dissection) that starts in the upper chest. One method replaces part of the aorta, and the other adds a stent. The goal is to find which approach works better for patients.
This trial is studying treatments for people with a sudden tear in the main artery from the heart (type A aortic dissection) or a similar condition. It aims to improve outcomes after this emergency.
This study collects medical information and blood-test timing data to learn how to diagnose aortic dissection sooner and predict outcomes. It may help doctors better plan care for people with suspected or confirmed aortic dissection.
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 personalized exercise program for people who had a serious tear in the aorta (aortic dissection) and were treated with a stent or graft. The goal is to help you recover safely and improve your strength and well-being.
This trial tests a technique called remote ischemic preconditioning, which involves temporarily reducing blood flow to a limb to protect the heart and brain during emergency surgery for a severe aortic tear (type A aortic dissection). The goal is to see if this can improve recovery and reduce complications.
