Comparing two stent treatments for aortic dissection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have type B aortic dissection with a very narrow true channel (less than 30% of the vessel width) or reduced blood flow to organs
- You can tolerate the stent procedure and general anesthesia
- You are not pregnant if female
- You are willing to sign a consent form and attend follow-up visits

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 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.
This trial compares an endovascular stent (placed through blood vessels) to best medical therapy (blood pressure and pain control) for certain “uncomplicated” type B aortic dissections. It aims to see which approach works better in the early period after symptoms start.
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 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 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.
