Plug for type B aortic dissection repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special plug (WeFlow-EndoSeal) placed into the false channel of a type B aortic dissection to help seal it. It is for people who are already getting a stent-graft and aims to improve the repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a type B aortic dissection (a tear in the main artery) that is not new (subacute or chronic) and you are scheduled for a stent-graft procedure.
- The area where the plug will be placed (in the false channel) is not too large, as measured on a CT scan.
- Your blood vessels allow the doctor to reach the false channel through a catheter from your leg or lower belly.
- You do not have Marfan syndrome, an active infection, or recent heart attack/stroke.

This study tests a combination of a stent (a small mesh tube) plus a procedure to block the false channel (the abnormal blood flow path) in patients with a type B aortic dissection that is not an emergency. The goal is to help the aorta heal and prevent future problems.
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 a new device (WeFlow-EndoPatch) to seal small tears in the aorta after previous dissection repair. It may be an option if you have 1 or 2 small tears in your descending aorta and are generally healthy enough for a catheter procedure.
This study tests whether a minimally invasive procedure (TEVAR) can improve blood flow and help the aorta heal in people with a certain type of aortic dissection. It may be an option if your dissection is causing symptoms or is at high risk of complications.
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 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.
