Aortic Dissection Type B

The goal of this prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the WeFlow-EndoSeal™ vAorta Vascular Plug System combined with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in patients diagnosed with Stanford type B aortic dissection. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does WeFlow-EndoSeal™ combined with TEVAR provide superior therapeutic efficacy versus standard TEVAR alone for Stanford type B aortic dissection? Does the combined intervention maintain a comparable safety profile relative to standard TEVAR alone? Researchers will compare the test arm (WeFlow-EndoSeal™ Aorta Vascular Plug System plus TEVAR) with the control arm (standard TEVAR alone), with subjects randomized at a 1:1 ratio, to see if the add-on device enhances treatment outcomes without elevating safety risks. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to either the test arm or the control arm with equal probability, free from subjective influence of investigators or participants Undergo the corresponding standardized endovascular procedure per their group allocation Complete protocol-specified clinical follow-ups and imaging assessments for efficacy and safety evaluation

This multicenter, prospective, observational study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) combined with false lumen embolization using vascular plugs in patients with acute type B aortic dissection. Despite TEVAR being a standard treatment for type B dissection, long-term outcomes remain suboptimal due to persistent false lumen perfusion through distal re-entry tears, leading to aortic expansion and high reintervention rates. This study addresses the clinical need for a more definitive treatment strategy that promotes complete false lumen thrombosis and aortic remodeling. The study plans to enroll 72 subjects across multiple centers in China, with each participant followed for 12 months. Key inclusion criteria comprise patients with acute or subacute (≤30 days from onset) type B aortic dissection exhibiting typical symptoms and extending to the infrarenal aorta, who are scheduled for the combined procedure. Exclusion criteria included those requiring emergency surgery, complicated dissections with malperfusion or rupture, trauma-related or infectious etiologies, prior aortic surgery, uncontrolled systemic diseases, recent myocardial infarction or stroke, and patients outside the 18-80 age range or refusing participation. The primary efficacy endpoint is the complete thrombosis rate of the false lumen in the thoracic aorta at 12 months postoperatively, while the primary safety endpoint is the incidence of major adverse events (MAEs) at the same time point. MAEs are defined as a composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, respiratory failure requiring prolonged ventilation or reintubation, renal deterioration (\>50% reduction in eGFR or new dialysis), bowel ischemia requiring surgery or refractory to medical therapy, major stroke, and grade 3 paraplegia. Secondary endpoints include thrombosis rates at 1 and 6 months in the thoracic aorta, patency and thrombosis status at the celiac trunk and infrarenal aortic levels at 1, 6, and 12 months, incidence of MAEs at earlier timepoints, and rates of endoleaks and reinterventions. All subjects will receive a standardized treatment protocol involving TEVAR with stent-graft placement to seal the proximal entry tear, followed by selective catheterization of the false lumen and deployment of 1-3 vascular plugs at predetermined locations: one parallel to the distal edge of the thoracic stent-graft, one at the level of the celiac trunk, and one at the distal re-entry tear in the infrarenal aorta. Follow-up assessments are scheduled at 1, 6, and 12 months post-procedure, including clinical evaluation and thoracoabdominal CTA imaging to assess aortic remodeling and complication status. This investigation represents the first prospective multicenter effort to evaluate the combined TEVAR and false lumen embolization strategy. By addressing the fundamental limitation of conventional TEVAR-incomplete false lumen exclusion-this study may establish a new standard for achieving complete aortic remodeling in type B dissection. The results are anticipated to provide robust evidence for guiding clinical practice and potentially influencing future treatment guidelines in aortic disease management.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the TEVAR combined with extended bare-metal stenting (distal landing zone ≥2 cm below renal arteries) in patients with acute complicated type B aortic dissection (ATBAD). Additionally, to prevent postoperative true lumen hypoperfusion in residual thoracoabdominal aortic dissection (visceral zone, infrarenal aorta, and iliac arteries) and persistent ischemic manifestations in visceral and lower extremity arteries post-endovascular repair, extended bare-metal stents are deployed to maintain adequate distal true lumen patency. This strategy ensures perfusion to visceral branches and lower limbs while preparing for future complete endovascular aortic repair.

The goal of this prospective, interventional, multicentre, single-arm performance objective study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of Cratos™ Branch Stent Graft System in treatment of lesions (dissection, IMH and PAU in descending aorta. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * 30-day all-cause Mortality rate * Composite of the following events from the time of enrolment through 12-month: * Device Technical Success * Absence of: Aortic rupture, Lesion-related mortality, Disabling Stroke, Permanent paraplegia, Permanent paraparesis, New onset renal failure requiring permanent dialysis, Additional unanticipated post-procedural surgical or interventional procedure related to the device, procedure, or withdrawal of the device system Participants will come for hospital office visits 1, 6, 12, 24-, 36-, 48- and 60-months post-procedure for the following, but not limited to assessments: * Physical examination * Modified Rankin scale * Tarlov scoring scale * CTA
