NCT ID NCT03669055
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 5 people with a torn aorta (aortic dissection) who needed a stent to fix it. Researchers used special MRI scans before and after surgery to measure blood flow changes in the aorta. The goal was to see if MRI can help doctors understand how well the treatment worked.
