New stent for aortic arch repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to fix problems in the aortic arch using a special stent (a mesh tube) placed through a small cut in an artery. It may be an option for people who are too high-risk for open surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a problem in the arch of your aorta such as a bulge, a tear, or a deep sore that needs treatment.
- You are not able to have open heart surgery, or it would be very risky for you.
- You do not have a connective tissue disorder like Marfan or Ehlers-Danlos.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests a new stent graft (a fabric-covered metal tube) placed inside the artery to fix aneurysms or ulcers in the aortic arch without open-heart surgery. It is designed for people whose anatomy fits precise measurements and who are not good candidates for traditional 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 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 tests a special stent graft for people with a type B aortic dissection that needs a new blood flow path to the left subclavian artery. The device is placed in the aortic arch to repair the tear and keep blood flowing normally.
