Stent treatment for acute aortic dissection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed within the last 14 days with a type B aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta) that needs surgery.
- The tear extends below the area of the kidneys.
- If the tear involves the left subclavian artery (a blood vessel in your shoulder), your doctor can use special techniques to keep it open.
- You are able to follow the trial's rules and attend follow-up visits.

This study tests a combination of a stent (a small mesh tube) plus a procedure to block the false channel (the abnormal blood flow path) in patients with a type B aortic dissection that is not an emergency. The goal is to help the aorta heal and prevent future problems.
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.
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 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 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.
