Treatment for retrograde aortic dissection with a stent graft
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You have a type of aortic dissection where the tear is in the arch or descending aorta and goes backward into the ascending aorta.
- A heart surgeon has said that open surgery is too risky or not right for you.
- Your arteries are wide enough and not too twisted for the stent delivery system to pass through.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow the trial procedures.

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 new stent graft (a fabric tube with metal support) to repair aneurysms or ulcers in the aortic arch, the curved part of the main artery near the heart. It aims to offer a less invasive option for people who are not good candidates for open surgery.
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 studies whether a minimally invasive (endovascular) procedure can safely treat specific serious problems of the ascending aorta. It may help people who are too high-risk for standard open-heart surgery, but only if their anatomy fits and certain risks are ruled out.
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.
