Platelet-rich plasma for aortic dissection surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using platelet-rich plasma (a concentration of your own blood's healing cells) during open surgery for type A aortic dissection can improve recovery and reduce complications. If you qualify, you would receive this extra treatment during your surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be having open surgery for a type A aortic dissection (a tear in the main artery from the heart).
- Your weight must be between 60 and 100 kg (about 132 to 220 pounds).
- Your blood counts (hemoglobin and platelets) must be within normal ranges.
- You must not have taken blood thinners in the 7 days before surgery.
- You must be stable enough — not on a ventilator, not in shock, and not needing dialysis.
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form.

This study tests if a simple arm-leg blood pressure cuff procedure before surgery can help protect organs during emergency repair of a torn aorta. It may reduce complications and improve recovery after surgery.
This study compares two surgeries to repair a dangerous tear in the aorta, which is the main blood vessel from the heart. The goal is to see which surgery is better for people whose tear is in the upper part of the aorta.
This study tests a special way of managing blood flow during surgery for a torn aorta (aortic dissection). The goal is to reduce the chance of small blood clots or strokes happening after the operation.
This trial tests whether using artificial intelligence to guide treatment choices can improve recovery in people with a sudden tear in the main artery (aortic dissection). All participants will receive emergency surgery, but the AI may help doctors tailor the approach to each person's condition, potentially reducing complications.
This study tests a personalized approach to restore blood flow when an aortic tear (acute type A dissection) blocks arteries to organs like the brain, gut, or legs. It aims to improve outcomes for people with this serious complication.
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.
