NCT ID NCT00583817
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a less invasive procedure using stent-grafts to treat various types of aortic disease, including aneurysms and dissections. It involves 170 participants who are considered too high-risk for traditional open surgery. The goal is to see if this endovascular approach can reduce deaths and serious complications like stroke.
