Balloon-assisted stent repair for chest aortic aneurysm
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether using a special balloon in the heart during a chest aortic repair helps the stent graft stay in place and improves outcomes. It may help patients whose stent is placed in the upper part of the aorta.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be planning a chest aortic repair using a stent graft (a mesh tube to support the artery).
- Your doctor will use a special balloon in the heart's upper right chamber to help stabilize the stent during the procedure.
- The stent must be placed in the early part of the aorta (landing zones 0 to 3), not further down.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive (endovascular) procedure can safely treat specific serious problems of the ascending aorta. It may help people who are too high-risk for standard open-heart surgery, but only if their anatomy fits and certain risks are ruled out.
This trial studies a minimally invasive (endovascular) procedure to repair large or risky aneurysms in the aorta near the chest and abdomen. It may help prevent aneurysm rupture and improve outcomes compared with other possible treatments.
This study tests a new stent device placed through a small incision to help the aorta heal after a recent type A dissection surgery. It aims to reduce the size of the false channel and improve long-term aortic health.
This trial studies a new type of stent graft placed in the chest aorta (from the aortic arch into the descending part) to treat aneurysms or dissections in people who are too high-risk for open surgery. It may help by offering a faster, less invasive repair when waiting for a custom stent would be unsafe.
