Heart surgery showdown: which aortic dissection repair saves more lives?
NCT ID NCT05912608
First seen May 21, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two different surgical methods for repairing a life-threatening tear in the aorta (the main artery from the heart). It will compare a less invasive approach for high-risk patients with a more extensive surgery for lower-risk patients. The goal is to find which strategy leads to better survival and fewer complications like stroke or paralysis. About 900 adults with acute type A aortic dissection will take part.
