Studying a new stent graft for type B aortic dissection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old.
- You have a type B aortic dissection that affects the left subclavian artery.
- Your anatomy meets specific size and distance measurements in the aorta and nearby arteries, as checked by your doctor.
- You have suitable access through the leg or arm arteries for the procedure.
- You agree to follow the study and attend all follow-up visits.
- You have not had prior stent or surgery in the aortic arch that would interfere.

This trial tests a stent graft device to repair a tear in the main artery from the heart (aorta). It is for people who have a high-risk condition called Type A aortic dissection and are not good candidates for open heart surgery.
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 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 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 tests a new stent graft (a fabric tube with metal support) to repair aneurysms or ulcers in the aortic arch, the curved part of the main artery near the heart. It aims to offer a less invasive option for people who are not good candidates for open surgery.
This trial tests a new stent graft system (like a fabric tube on a metal cage) that is placed inside the aorta through a blood vessel in your leg. It is designed to fix problems in the aortic arch without open heart surgery, for people who are at high risk for surgery. The goal is to see how safe and effective it is over time.
