A new surgery method for type A aortic intramural hematoma
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares different surgical approaches for treating type A aortic intramural hematoma, a condition where bleeding occurs within the wall of the aorta. It aims to find the best way to repair the aorta and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with type A aortic intramural hematoma.
- You have not had prior surgery on the aortic arch or the aorta beyond it.
- You do not have a primary tear on the outer curve of the aortic arch that would require complete arch replacement.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have severe infections, advanced cancer, serious liver or kidney problems, or other major illnesses that would make surgery risky.

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 trial tests two types of emergency surgery for a life-threatening tear in the main artery (aortic dissection). It compares replacing the entire arch plus a long stent (frozen elephant trunk) against replacing only the first part (hemiarch) to see which works better.
This trial compares two surgical methods for repairing the main artery (aorta) after a tear (dissection) that starts in the upper chest. One method replaces part of the aorta, and the other adds a stent. The goal is to find which approach works better for patients.
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 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 study looks at the best surgical strategy for repairing an acute (sudden) tear of the ascending aorta. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective repair method for people who need urgent surgery soon after symptoms begin.
