New registry tracks STABILISE procedure for aortic tears
NCT ID NCT03707743
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is collecting information from 200 patients who had a type of aortic dissection (a tear in the main artery) and were treated with a procedure called STABILISE. The goal is to see how well the technique works and what complications may occur. Participants are adults with acute or subacute aortic dissection. This is an observational registry, meaning no new treatment is given—just data is gathered to learn more.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with ≥ 18 years of age; * Patients presenting with an acute (up to two weeks from the onset) and subacute (between 3 and 12 weeks from the onset) type B dissection with a proximal suitable non-dissected landing zone in the aortic arch or descending thoracic aorta (supra-aortic trunks debranching may be employed to obtain an adequate proximal landing zone); * Total aortic diameter of the abdominal aorta (from supra-celiac to infra-renal level) must not exceed 42 mm; * Patients able to sign specific informed consent for the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with chronic type B aortic dissection (more than 12 weeks from the onset); * Patients with acute type B aortic dissection not treated according to the following treatment protocol; * Unwilling or unable to comply with the follow-up schedule; * Inability or refusal to give informed consent; * Simultaneously participating in another investigative device or drug study; * Frank rupture; * Systemic infection (eg, sepsis); * Allergy to stainless steel, polyester, solder (tin, silver), polypropylene, nitinol, or gold; * Untreatable reaction to contrast, which, in the opinion of the investigator, cannot be adequately premedicated; * Surgical or endovascular AAA repair within 30 days before or after dissection repair; * Previous placement of a thoracic endovascular graft; * Prior open repair involving the descending thoracic aorta, including the supra-renal aorta and/or arch; * Interventional and/or open surgical procedures (unrelated to dissection) within 30 days before or after dissection repair.
