Endovascular repair for complicated type B aortic dissection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure (TEVAR) can improve blood flow and help the aorta heal in people with a certain type of aortic dissection. It may be an option if your dissection is causing symptoms or is at high risk of complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You have been diagnosed with a type B aortic dissection that is either acute and complicated or high-risk.
- Your doctor has determined that you are suitable for TEVAR or TEVAR with a single branch stent.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow up with the study team.
- You must not have a connective tissue disorder like Marfan syndrome, recent heart attack or stroke, severe kidney disease, or poor overall health that would make surgery risky.

This study tests a minimally invasive procedure called TEVAR to repair a type B aortic dissection (a tear in the wall of the main artery from your heart). It may help prevent further damage and improve recovery.
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 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 studies which treatment is best for people with a recent, “uncomplicated” type B aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta). It may help doctors choose safer care for patients whose dissection has not yet caused major complications.
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 trial compares an endovascular stent (placed through blood vessels) to best medical therapy (blood pressure and pain control) for certain “uncomplicated” type B aortic dissections. It aims to see which approach works better in the early period after symptoms start.
