Long-Term Study of Castor and Cratos Stents for Aortic Arch Repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tracks how well two types of stents (Castor and Cratos) work for people who have had a repair of the main artery in the chest (the aortic arch). If you already received one of these stents during your procedure, the study will follow your recovery and any future aortic events.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a stent placed (Castor or Cratos) that connects to the artery under your left collarbone.
- You are over 18 years old.
- You are not allergic to the materials in the stent.
- You do not have a serious infection that could affect the stent.
- You are not pregnant or a minor.

This study tracks outcomes after a specific aortic arch stent procedure using a device with three inner branches. It’s mainly a registry, meaning researchers follow people over time to learn how safe and effective the procedure is.
This trial tests whether a “branch” stent graft can safely repair certain problems in the descending aorta (the big blood vessel in the chest). It may help by sealing the problem while keeping blood flow to an important branch vessel in the left upper chest area.
This study looks at outcomes for people who had emergency (acute) type B aortic problems treated with a specific stent graft called the Castor single-branch device. It helps doctors understand how well this device works for selected patients and what factors affect results.
This study tests a new, less invasive way to fix problems in the aortic arch using a special stent (a mesh tube) placed through a small cut in an artery. It may be an option for people who are too high-risk for open surgery.
This study looks at using special branched stent-grafts to treat problems in the aortic arch (such as aneurysm or certain tears). It focuses on how well this approach works and how patients do over follow-up visits.
This trial tests a new device called Arcevo LSA to treat certain types of aortic arch problems, like dissections (tears) or aneurysms (bulges). It is for people who need open surgery, and the device helps fix the left subclavian artery area.
