Iron-based covered stent for aortic narrowing
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of stent made from iron that slowly dissolves in the body. It is designed to treat narrowing of the aorta (CoA) or narrowing that happens after CoA surgery. The goal is to see if the stent is safe and works well over one year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 1 and 60 years old.
- You must have a diagnosis of aortic narrowing (CoA) or narrowing after CoA surgery, with a pressure difference across the narrowed area, at least 50% narrowing, or a high blood flow velocity on ultrasound.
- You or your family must agree to follow the study plan, sign a consent form, and be willing to have check-ups for one year.
- Your expected lifespan must be more than one year after treatment.
- The healthy part of the artery near the narrowing must be between 4 mm and 16 mm wide.

This trial tests a new type of stent (a small expandable tube) made of bioresorbable material that can dissolve over time. It's designed for young children who need treatment for narrowing in their aorta (main artery leaving the heart) or pulmonary artery (vessel to the lungs).
This trial tests a specialized stent (a small mesh tube) placed inside the chest and belly aorta to treat a thoracoabdominal aortic dissecting aneurysm. It may help prevent the artery from getting bigger or causing dangerous bleeding by supporting the weakened area from inside.
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 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.
This trial studies a less invasive stent procedure that blocks blood flow into certain large aneurysms in the chest-to-abdomen or upper abdomen area. It may help prevent aneurysm growth and rupture while avoiding the risks of open surgery.
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.
