New stent aims to fix deadly aortic aneurysms without open surgery
NCT ID NCT06385379
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new device called the WeFlow-Tribranch stent graft system to repair aneurysms or ulcers in the aortic arch. About 90 people aged 18 to 80 with these conditions will receive the stent through a minimally invasive procedure. The main goal is to see if the device is safe and effective by measuring survival and freedom from major stroke within 12 months.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients aged 18 to 80 years old; 2. Diagnosed with aortic arch lesions requiring intervention, including true aortic arch aneurysms, pseudo-aortic arch aneurysms, and ulcers involving the aortic arch; 3. Showing a suitable vascular condition, including: * Ascending aorta length greater than 50 mm (from the aortic sinusoid junction to the proximal cardiac margin of the innominate artery). * Ascending aorta diameter ≥ 24 mm and ≤ 48 mm; * Proximal anchoring zone length ≥ 30 mm; * Branch arteries to be reconstructed were ≤ 24 mm and ≥ 6 mm in diameter and ≥ 20 mm in length; * Suitable arterial access for endovascular interventional treatment; 4. Able to understand the purpose of the trial, participate in the trial voluntarily with informed consent form signed by the patient him/herself or his or her legal representative, and willing to complete follow-up visits as required under the protocol. 5. Subjects were assessed as high risk for surgery by at least two investigators or judged to have significant surgical contraindications. Recommended reference criteria were a European system for cardiac operative risk evaluation (EuroScore) score of 6 or higher or other surgical risk factors as judged by the physician team. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Experienced systemic infection during past three months; 2. Neck surgery was performed within 3 months; 3. Previous endovascular interventional treatment involving the aortic arch was performed; 4. Infectious aortic disease, Takayasu arteritis, Marfan syndrome (or other connective tissue diseases ); 5. Severe stenosis, calcification, thrombosis, or tortuosity of the branch artery to be reconstructed; 6. Heart transplant; 7. Suffered Myocardial Infarction or Stroke during past three months; 8. Class IV heart function (NYHA classification); 9. Active peptic ulcers or upper gastrointestinal bleeding occurring within the previous three months; 10. Hematological abnormality, defined as follows: Leukopenia (WBC \< 3 ×109/L), acute anemia (Hb \< 90 g/L), Coagulation disorders, thrombocytopenia (PLT count \< 50 × 109/L); 11. Renal insufficiency, creatinine \> 150 umol/L and/or end-stage renal disease requiring renal dialysis; 12. Pregnant or breastfeeding; 13. Allergies to contrast agents; 14. Life expectancy of less than 12 months; 15. Participating in another drug or device research; 16. Any other disease or abnormality that the investigators believe may hinder endovascular interventional treatment.
