Right atrial balloon use during TEVAR
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether using a balloon in the right atrium during thoracic aortic repair helps reduce aortic movement and improve outcomes. It may be relevant if you are scheduled for this type of aortic repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) — a procedure to fix the main artery in your chest using a stent.
- Your aortic repair will use a balloon placed in the right atrium to slow or stop the aortic pulse.
- Your stent will be placed in landing zones 0, 1, 2, or 3 (areas near the heart).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at the longer-term results of custom-made devices placed in the thoracic aorta (the main blood vessel in the chest). It may help patients learn how well these tailored devices work over time.
This trial tests a new stenting approach for patients with large or fast-growing aneurysms in the lower part of the chest's main artery. It focuses on people whose aneurysm shape makes standard treatment tricky.
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 studies a new balloon used during a TAVI procedure to replace your aortic valve without open-heart surgery. It aims to see if the balloon is safe and works well for people with severe aortic stenosis.
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 is looking at how your heartbeat and breathing affect blood flow in an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). It uses a special type of stent graft called Treo. The goal is to learn more so doctors can better treat AAAs.
