Tiny tube tested to fix Life-Threatening artery tear
NCT ID NCT03322033
Summary
This early study tested a new, less invasive procedure using a stent graft (a tiny tube) to repair dangerous tears in the body's main artery, called the aorta. It was for high-risk patients who were not good candidates for traditional open-heart surgery. The goal was to see if this approach could safely reroute blood flow and control the life-threatening condition.
