Polymer device to close false lumen in type B dissection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new polymer device to close the false lumen (an extra channel) in the aorta for people with type B aortic dissection. It may prevent the aorta from growing and reduce the risk of complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a type B aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta), and need to close the extra channel (false lumen).
- Your symptoms started more than 15 days ago (not a recent emergency).
- You are not pregnant, and you agree to use birth control during the study if needed.
- You have not had the false lumen treated before, and you are not enrolled in another clinical trial.

This trial tests a new device made of a special shape-memory polymer that is placed inside the false lumen (the space created by a tear in the aorta) to prevent the aorta from growing larger. It is for people with aortic dissection who need treatment for the false lumen, either as a first treatment or after a previous procedure on the main tear.
This trial tests a new device made of shape memory polymer to close the false lumen (an abnormal channel) in people with aortic dissection. The goal is to prevent the aorta from growing and causing further problems.
This trial tests a new device (WeFlow-EndoPatch) to seal small tears in the aorta after previous dissection repair. It may be an option if you have 1 or 2 small tears in your descending aorta and are generally healthy enough for a catheter procedure.
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 a new approach for treating type B aortic dissections by combining stent placement with a technique to close off the false channel. It aims to improve outcomes for patients who are not in crisis and whose dissection extends into the belly area.
