Aortic wall analysis during heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at the structure and strength of the aorta (the main artery from your heart) in patients having surgery to replace part of it or having a heart transplant. The goal is to better understand the aortic wall to improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery to replace part of your ascending aorta or for a heart transplant.
- You do not have a biological hazard such as hepatitis C or HIV.
- You are willing to have a sample of your aortic wall analyzed.

This study collects medical information and blood-test timing data to learn how to diagnose aortic dissection sooner and predict outcomes. It may help doctors better plan care for people with suspected or confirmed aortic dissection.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to better analyze CT scans of the aorta, the large artery that carries blood from your heart. If your CT scan shows the aorta is partly cut off or missing in the images, the AI will help measure the parts that are fully visible.
This trial looks at ways to improve cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health, especially conditions that affect the aorta, such as aneurysms, or vascular problems that may run in families. If you have an aortic-related or other cardiovascular diagnosis (or you’re a healthy comparison participant), you may be invited to take part in this health-improvement program.
This study tracks how the thickness of the aortic wall relates to strength in people having surgery for an aortic aneurysm. It aims to better understand the condition and possibly improve future care.
This study looks at the shape and size of the aortic arch (the main artery from your heart) using CT scans. It helps doctors better understand normal variations in anatomy.
This study tests different ways to check for blocked heart arteries in patients getting a new aortic valve through a tube in the leg. It aims to find the best approach to guide treatment.
