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 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 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 tests a special stent graft for people with a sudden tear in the inner layer of the aorta (type I aortic dissection) that needs urgent repair. It aims to see if the device can help treat the condition safely.
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.
This trial tests a new stent graft (a fabric-covered metal tube) placed inside the artery to fix aneurysms or ulcers in the aortic arch without open-heart surgery. It is designed for people whose anatomy fits precise measurements and who are not good candidates for traditional surgery.
