Aortic stent with false channel blockage for type B dissection
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of a stent (a small mesh tube) plus a procedure to block the false channel (the abnormal blood flow path) in patients with a type B aortic dissection that is not an emergency. The goal is to help the aorta heal and prevent future problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a type B aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta) that started within the last 30 days.
- You must have symptoms and imaging that confirm the dissection.
- The tear must extend down into the lower part of the aorta (in your belly area).
- You must be scheduled for a planned (not emergency) procedure that uses a stent and a gel or coil to block the blood flow in the damaged area.
- You cannot have had previous aortic surgery or stents, and you cannot have had a heart attack or stroke in the last 6 months.
- Your age must be between 18 and 80 years.

This trial tests a combination of stents to treat a tear in the aorta (the main artery), which is an emergency. The treatment aims to cover the tear and support the artery to prevent further damage, potentially improving outcomes.
This trial tests a special plug (WeFlow-EndoSeal) placed into the false channel of a type B aortic dissection to help seal it. It is for people who are already getting a stent-graft and aims to improve the repair.
This study tests a new stent device placed through a small incision to help the aorta heal after a recent type A dissection surgery. It aims to reduce the size of the false channel and improve long-term aortic health.
This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure (TEVAR) can improve blood flow and help the aorta heal in people with a certain type of aortic dissection. It may be an option if your dissection is causing symptoms or is at high risk of complications.
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 tests two different stent procedures to repair a torn aorta in people with severe narrowing that limits blood flow to organs. It compares the usual stent method with a new one to see which gives better results.
