Stent treatment for healing after aortic dissection surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a type A aortic dissection within the last 90 days.
- You had open surgery (total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk) about 30 days ago.
- A CT scan shows that the dissection is not fully healed—there is still a tear and blood flow in the false channel.
- The false channel is larger than half of the total aortic channel in the chest.
- You did not have previous surgery on the descending chest or abdominal aorta.

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 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 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.
This trial tests a stent graft device to repair a tear in the main artery from the heart (aorta). It is for people who have a high-risk condition called Type A aortic dissection and are not good candidates for open heart surgery.
This study tests whether repairing an enlarged or tearing (dissection) thoracic aorta using a catheter-based procedure can be safer for people who are high-risk for open surgery. It uses specialized stent grafts placed through blood vessels to seal the problem and prevent complications.
This trial tests a stent-graft procedure for a specific type of aortic dissection where the tear starts in the arch or descending aorta and extends backward into the ascending aorta. It is for patients who are not good candidates for open surgery.
