New stent aims to save lives from aortic tears
NCT ID NCT07268755
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new stent (Talos) for treating a life-threatening tear in the aorta, the body's main artery. The stent has special features to improve blood flow and reduce complications. 320 adults with aortic dissection will be followed for 2 years to see if the stent helps the artery heal and avoids the need for more procedures.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients scheduled for or already receiving the Talos stent; 2. Age ≥18 years, any gender, non-pregnant or non-lactating; 3. Diagnosed with aortic dissection; 4. Presence of a ≥15mm effective proximal landing zone; 5. Having eligible access artery anatomy; 6. Expected survival \>1 year; 7. Capable of understanding the trial purpose, voluntarily participating, signing informed consent, and willing to undergo follow-up. Exclusion Criteria 1. Definitive diagnosis of aortic-related connective tissue disorders (e.g., Marfan syndrome); 2. Subjects with infectious aortic dissection; 3. Documented allergy to nitinol alloys, contrast agents, or related materials; 4. Severe hepatic/renal dysfunction (ALT or AST \>2.5×ULN, serum creatinine \>2×ULN); 5. Uncontrolled severe infections (e.g., bacteremia or septicemia); 6. History of active bleeding, coagulopathy, or refusal of blood transfusion; 7. Malignancy with life expectancy \<1 year; 8. Pregnancy, lactation, or planned pregnancy during the trial; 9. Concurrent participation in other drug/device trials without completing primary endpoints; 10.
