Quality check for type B aortic dissection treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks the quality of care for people with type B aortic dissection who had a procedure to repair it (TEVAR). It looks at their health over 2 years to improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with type B aortic dissection (a tear in the lower part of the main artery) confirmed by a special CT scan.
- You had a procedure called TEVAR (a stent placed in the aorta) or a hybrid procedure (without opening the chest).
- You agree to sign a consent form and be followed for 2 years.
- You do not have other serious illnesses (like severe lung disease, cancer, dementia) that could affect participation.
- You have not had previous surgery on your aorta, congenital aortic problems, or recent major events like a stroke or heart attack (within 30 days).

This study tests a minimally invasive procedure called TEVAR to repair a type B aortic dissection (a tear in the wall of the main artery from your heart). It may help prevent further damage and improve recovery.
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 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 studies which treatment is best for people with a recent, “uncomplicated” type B aortic dissection (a tear in the aorta). It may help doctors choose safer care for patients whose dissection has not yet caused major complications.
This trial compares an endovascular stent (placed through blood vessels) to best medical therapy (blood pressure and pain control) for certain “uncomplicated” type B aortic dissections. It aims to see which approach works better in the early period after symptoms start.
