Heart nerve calming after aortic arch replacement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a procedure called cardiac denervation, which aims to calm the heart's nerve signals after aortic arch replacement surgery, potentially reducing heart complications. It is designed for patients who have just had this major surgery for aortic dissection or aneurysm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and of Han nationality.
- You have been diagnosed with aortic dissection or aneurysm and have had aortic arch replacement surgery using a heart-lung machine.
- You can understand and sign a consent form.
- You do not have severe bleeding problems, are not pregnant, and have not had prior heart surgery.
- You do not have a history of atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) or recent heart-related conditions like heart attack or angina.
- You have not used certain heart rhythm medications (except beta-blockers) within 2 weeks before surgery.

This trial tests a non-invasive ear stimulation device to see if it can prevent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) after heart bypass surgery. If effective, it could reduce complications and help you recover more smoothly.
This study looks at how a new type of heart procedure, called pulsed field ablation, affects the heart's structure in people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors understand if this treatment improves heart function over time.
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of a small nerve in the ear (called the vagus nerve) can reduce inflammation and lower the chance of atrial fibrillation returning after a standard heart procedure called pulsed field ablation. It may help improve recovery and long-term heart rhythm control.
This trial tests a new device that uses pulsed field energy to treat atrial fibrillation while you are already having open-heart surgery for other heart problems. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well in correcting the irregular heartbeat.
This trial tests a device to close a small pouch in the heart during planned bypass surgery, to help prevent future strokes. It is for people who have never had an irregular heartbeat and are at higher stroke risk due to age and other factors.
This trial compares two cooling temperatures during an “aortic hemiarch” operation to see which approach is safer and better for brain protection. It may help guide surgeons on the best cooling strategy for some planned heart surgeries.
