What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study looks back at the records of about 600 patients who had a procedure called thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), which uses a stent to reinforce a weakened area in the aorta. The goal is to find out how many of these patients later need another procedure (a reintervention) and what factors might be linked to that. By analyzing data from multiple hospitals in Taiwan, researchers hope to identify patterns that could help guide future care and follow-up for TEVAR patients.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors better predict which patients might need additional procedures after TEVAR, potentially improving follow-up care and outcomes.
What could go wrong
As a retrospective observational study, it can only show associations, not cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all patient populations or centers outside Taiwan.
