New hope for deadly aortic tear: common drug could boost survival after emergency surgery

NCT ID NCT06968806

Summary

This study is testing if adding the anti-inflammatory drug ketorolac to standard emergency care helps patients recover better from a life-threatening tear in their main heart artery (Type A aortic dissection). 360 patients scheduled for emergency surgery will receive either ketorolac or a placebo injection and pills for two days after their operation, in addition to all standard treatments. Researchers will track serious complications, death rates, and signs of inflammation to see if the drug improves outcomes over 90 days.
