Comparing surgery options for aortic intramural hematoma
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares different surgical techniques for treating a type of aortic intramural hematoma, which is a blood clot in the wall of the aorta. The goal is to find the safest and most effective approach to prevent complications.

This study compares two surgeries to repair a dangerous tear in the aorta, which is the main blood vessel from the heart. The goal is to see which surgery is better for people whose tear is in the upper part of the aorta.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for adults who need emergency surgery for a specific kind of torn aorta (type 1 aortic dissection). It may help your surgical team choose the safest, most effective operation for people with your anatomy and health status.
This study looks at how patients do after surgery for an urgent (acute) tear of the aorta or related bleeding in the wall of the ascending aorta. It may help doctors better understand what outcomes to expect after early emergency surgery.
This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing a tear in the main artery (aorta) during an emergency. It aims to see if adding a stent (a small mesh tube) to the standard repair improves outcomes. Participation may help improve treatment for this serious condition.
This trial tests a surgical technique called arch-clamping under mild hypothermia (cooling the body slightly during surgery) to treat acute type A aortic dissection. It may help patients who need immediate total aortic arch replacement.
This trial compares two surgical approaches for a dangerous tear/dissection of the aorta in the upper chest area. It looks at whether repairing the aortic arch (the curved part of the main blood vessel) improves outcomes compared with not repairing it.
