How aorta shape affects stenting results for aortic narrowing
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how the shape of the aorta (the large artery from the heart) affects how it heals and remodels after a stent is placed to treat a narrowed area (called coarctation). It may help doctors predict better outcomes for people undergoing this procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 12 years or older.
- You have a narrowing of the aorta known as coarctation, which may be the first treatment or a recurrence.
- The pressure difference across the narrowing, measured during a heart catheterization, is at least 20 mmHg.
- You weigh at least 20 kilograms (about 44 pounds).
- You have had CT scans of your aorta before and after stent placement, and those images are available for review.

This study looks at the shape and size of the aortic arch (the main artery from your heart) using CT scans. It helps doctors better understand normal variations in anatomy.
This study uses heart MRI (CMR) to measure how stiff the aorta is in people with aortic coarctation (a narrowing of the main artery). It aims to see if stiffness relates to the severity of the narrowing, which may guide treatment decisions.
This study follows people with aortic stenosis who are getting a TAVI valve replacement. It uses imaging tests (MRI and CT) to learn more about the condition and improve future care.
This trial looks at how the ascending aorta (the main artery near the heart) changes over time after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. It may help doctors predict who is at risk of aorta enlargement after this less-invasive valve procedure.
This study looks at how the heart changes after a minimally invasive procedure to fix an aortic aneurysm. It uses imaging to track heart function and structure over time.
This study uses MRI scans to understand how different parts of the aorta look and behave, including in healthy volunteers and people with aortic problems. It may help researchers better describe differences in the aorta that could improve future diagnosis or treatment planning.
