New stent system for type A aortic dissection recovery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new stent system to help repair the aorta after initial surgery for type A aortic dissection. It may help promote better healing of the remaining damaged section.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You had surgery for type A aortic dissection within the last 30 days.
- After surgery, a CT scan shows there is still a tear in the aorta and the false channel is not fully clotted.
- The false channel in your chest aorta is larger than the true channel.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow the study plan.

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 combining a standard stent graft with longer bare-metal stents to treat a type of aortic dissection within two weeks of symptoms starting. It aims to see if the combination is safe and works better than current options.
This study tests whether a stent procedure (TEVAR) can improve blood flow and healing in people with a serious aortic tear (type B dissection). It may be an option if you have complications or high-risk features from the dissection.
This trial tests a special stent graft for people with a sudden tear in the inner layer of the aorta (type I aortic dissection) that needs urgent repair. It aims to see if the device can help treat the condition safely.
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 trial is collecting data on patients with type B aortic dissection who undergo a minimally invasive procedure called TEVAR. The goal is to improve quality and outcomes for future patients. If you had this procedure, you might be eligible to join.
