NCT ID NCT02777593
Summary
This study is testing a specialized stent-graft device designed to treat dangerous conditions in the upper part of the body's main artery, the aorta. The device is placed via a minimally invasive procedure to reinforce or seal off weak spots, bulges, or tears. The goal is to see if this approach is a safe and effective alternative to major open-chest surgery for 250 eligible patients.
