Bypass Techniques for Complex Aortic Aneurysm Surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches to repair a life-threatening tear or bulge in the large artery that carries blood from the heart (aorta). The study will help doctors determine which technique is safer and works better for patients needing this complex surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a confirmed diagnosis of acute aortic tear or rupture (ATAAD) seen on a CT scan
- You are at least 18 years old
- Your doctors determine you need major aortic repair surgery with heart-lung machine support
- You do not have serious kidney failure, heart failure, or liver disease
- You have not had recent major stroke, cancer, or inflammatory aortic diseases
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy during the study period

This study tests a new way to repair a complex aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the main artery) using a special procedure that helps keep blood flowing to your vital organs. It may help people who are not candidates for standard surgery. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and works well.
This trial tests a new multibranched stent graft system to treat thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. It may help patients who have an aneurysm that is large, growing quickly, or causing symptoms like pain.
This study tests a specially customized endovascular (through blood vessels) repair for certain large or fast-growing aneurysms near the kidney area or chest-to-abdomen area. It may help people who are higher risk for open surgery and whose anatomy fits the device.
This study tests a special type of stent-graft (a tube with branch openings) to treat large or rapidly growing aneurysms and certain aortic dissections in the chest/abdomen or aortic arch. It aims to prevent the aneurysm from rupturing and to safely restore blood flow to key branch arteries.
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.
This trial tests a surgical technique called arch-clamping under mild hypothermia (cooling the body slightly during surgery) to treat acute type A aortic dissection. It may help patients who need immediate total aortic arch replacement.
