Study of stent treatment for type B aortic dissection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and not pregnant
- You have a type B aortic dissection that is acute, complicated, or high-risk
- Your doctor thinks you can have a stent procedure
- You are willing to sign a consent form and come for follow-up visits

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 compares two different stent procedures (TEVAR vs FABULOUS) for people with a serious tear in the main artery (aortic dissection). It aims to see which method works better when the artery's inner channel is very narrow or when organs aren't getting enough blood.
This trial tests if a special stent called the Allay® Aortic Stent can help people with a type B aortic dissection that extends to or past the celiac trunk. It may be an option if you've recently had symptoms and are already scheduled for a standard stent procedure.
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 is collecting data on patients with type B aortic dissection who undergo a minimally invasive procedure called TEVAR. The goal is to improve quality and outcomes for future patients. If you had this procedure, you might be eligible to join.
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.
