Stent graft treatment for aortic arch aneurysms and ulcers
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new stent graft (a fabric tube with metal support) to repair aneurysms or ulcers in the aortic arch, the curved part of the main artery near the heart. It aims to offer a less invasive option for people who are not good candidates for open surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You need an aortic arch aneurysm or ulcer that requires treatment.
- Your anatomy must meet specific size measurements (your doctor will check with imaging).
- You should be considered high-risk for open surgery (or have reasons you can't have it).
- You cannot have certain conditions like Marfan syndrome, active infections, or severe kidney failure.
- You must be willing to attend follow-up visits.

This trial tests a special stent-graft designed for aortic arch aneurysms or ulcers that need treatment near the heart. It might be an option if you are not a good candidate for open surgery.
This trial tests a new stent graft system (like a fabric tube on a metal cage) that is placed inside the aorta through a blood vessel in your leg. It is designed to fix problems in the aortic arch without open heart surgery, for people who are at high risk for surgery. The goal is to see how safe and effective it is over time.
This study tracks outcomes after a specific aortic arch stent procedure using a device with three inner branches. It’s mainly a registry, meaning researchers follow people over time to learn how safe and effective the procedure is.
This trial studies a special stent-graft placed inside the aorta to treat aneurysms, penetrating ulcers, or chronic dissections. It aims to see how well these branch stent grafts fit and seal the problem area while reducing the need for open surgery.
This study tests a special type of stent-graft (a tube with branch openings) to treat large or rapidly growing aneurysms and certain aortic dissections in the chest/abdomen or aortic arch. It aims to prevent the aneurysm from rupturing and to safely restore blood flow to key branch arteries.
This trial studies different custom and modified stent-grafts (tiny metal-reinforced tubes placed inside the aorta) to repair difficult aortic aneurysms and dissections. It aims to see which approach best fits your aortic shape and helps keep blood flowing safely.
