Platelet-rich plasma for type A aortic dissection surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using your own platelet-rich plasma during open surgery for type A aortic dissection can improve outcomes. If you qualify, you may receive this treatment to help with recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a technique called remote ischemic preconditioning, which involves temporarily reducing blood flow to a limb to protect the heart and brain during emergency surgery for a severe aortic tear (type A aortic dissection). The goal is to see if this can improve recovery and reduce complications.
This study tests a special approach during surgery for a type of aortic dissection (a tear in the main artery) to lower the chance of new stroke or brain damage. It aims to improve recovery after emergency heart surgery.
This trial is studying treatments for people with a sudden tear in the main artery from the heart (type A aortic dissection) or a similar condition. It aims to improve outcomes after this emergency.
This trial tests new strategies for patients with a severe aortic tear (type A aortic dissection) that has caused blockages in blood vessels, leading to organ damage. It aims to find the best approach to restore blood flow and improve outcomes.
This study looks at how patients do after surgery for an urgent (acute) tear of the aorta or related bleeding in the wall of the ascending aorta. It may help doctors better understand what outcomes to expect after early emergency 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.
