Stent treatment for acute aortic dissection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests combining a standard stent graft with longer bare-metal stents to treat a type of aortic dissection within two weeks of symptoms starting. It aims to see if the combination is safe and works better than current options.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.

- Your doctor has confirmed you need a stent graft procedure (TEVAR).
- The tear in your aorta extends past the level of your kidneys.
- You are willing to follow up with scans and doctor visits as required.

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.
This study tests whether a stent procedure (TEVAR) can improve blood flow and healing in people with a serious aortic tear (type B dissection). It may be an option if you have complications or high-risk features from the dissection.
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 new stent system to help repair the aorta after initial surgery for type A aortic dissection. It may help promote better healing of the remaining damaged section.
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 is collecting data on patients with type B aortic dissection who undergo a minimally invasive procedure called TEVAR. The goal is to improve quality and outcomes for future patients. If you had this procedure, you might be eligible to join.
