Less invasive stent graft repair for aortic arch problems
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to fix problems in the aortic arch (the top part of the main artery from the heart) using a stent graft placed through a catheter. It may help people who cannot have traditional open surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 looks at using special branched stent-grafts to treat problems in the aortic arch (such as aneurysm or certain tears). It focuses on how well this approach works and how patients do over 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 study tests a new stent graft device to treat problems in the aortic arch, such as aneurysms or chronic dissections, without open surgery. It may help people who are not good candidates for traditional open repair.
This trial tests a specialized multi-branch stent graft to treat a large or growing aneurysm in the aorta near the chest and abdomen. It mainly looks at safety and whether the stent keeps blood flowing to important arteries.
