Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Freedom from major device/procedure-related adverse events within 30 days post-operation.

    Device or procedure related major adverse events included: stroke, respiratory failure, pericardial tamponade, dissection or aneurysm rupture, paraplegia, stent occlusion, fracture, migration, access vessel thrombosis or rupture, conversion to open surgery, death.

    Time frame: 30 days after intervention

Secondary outcomes

  1. Immediate postoperative technical success.

    Immediate technical success is defined as successful delivery of the aortic and branching stent graft conveyors to their predetermined positions, accurate positioning and successful deployment of the stent, safe removal of the delivery device outside the body, absence of Type I and III endoleaks on angiography at the end of the procedure , and patent branch stents.

    Time frame: immediately after intervention

  2. Incidence of Type I or Type III endoleaks.

    Endoleak evaluated by DSA or CTA during operation and at 1 month, 6 months and 12 months after operation. Intraoperative endoleaks that were treated with adjuvant therapy were not documented. Endoleaks occurring in the same subject after completion of the procedure, and that were not treated at different visits, are counted as once.

    Time frame: 1 month, 6 months and 12 months post-intervention

  3. Incidence of aortic arch stent graft migration.

    CTA will be performed at 1, 6, and 12 months after operation to determine if the stent has migrated, and evaluations will be recorded for both the main and branch stents. Migration is defined as the main and branched stents migrate more than 10 mm at postoperative follow-up compared with that 1 month post-intervention.

    Time frame: 1 month, 6 months and 12 months post-intervention

  4. Postoperative branch vessel patency rate.

    CTA examinations will be performed at 1, 6, and 12 months post-operation to evaluate branch vessel revascularization and whether there is occlusion, stenosis, or stent thrombosis.

    Time frame: 1 month, 6 months and 12 months post-intervention

  5. Results of aortic remodeling after aortic dissection surgery

    CTA examinations will be performed at 1, 6, and 12 months post-operation to evaluate results of aortic remodeling, including the expansion of the true lumen and the thrombosis of the false lumen at the coverage of the aortic dissection vascular stent to determine whether the blood vessel is successfully remodeled.

    Time frame: 1 month, 6 months and 12 months post-intervention

  6. Progression control of aortic aneurysm

    CTA examinations will be performed at 1, 6, and 12 months post-operation to evaluate results of progression control of aortic aneurysm. The maximum diameter of aortic aneurysm increases by ≤ 5 mm after 12 months of CTA examination compared with that before surgery.

    Time frame: 1 month, 6 months and 12 months post-intervention

  7. Incidence of surgically induced de novo aortic dissection converted to open-heart surgery or secondary intervention.

    Whether or not the patient experienced surgically induced de novo aortic dissection converted to open-heart surgery or secondary intervention will be determined.

    Time frame: within 12 months post-intervention

  8. Aortic-related mortality at 12 months post operation.

    Refers to death caused by aortic rupture or endovascular treatment.

    Time frame: within 12 months post-intervention

  9. All-cause mortality and major stroke within 12 months post-procedure.

    All-cause mortality includes cardiac death, non-cardiac death, and unexpected death. Major stroke is defined as a modified Rankin score (mRS) ≥ 2 at 90 days after stroke onset.

    Time frame: within 12 months post-intervention

  10. Incidence of severe adverse events.

    Refers to an event that occurs during the clinical trial that results in mortality or serious deterioration in patient health, including a fatal illness or injury, a permanent defect in body structure or body function, or an event that requires medical or surgical intervention to avoid one or more permanent defects in body structure or body function.

    Time frame: within 12 months post-intervention

  11. Incidence of device-related adverse events.

    Device-related adverse event refers to an adverse medical event related to the use of test device during the clinical trial. However, a distinction should be made with respect to normal postoperative stress response, such as fever and chest and back discomfort, which, in the judgment of the investigator, need not be recorded as an adverse event.

    Time frame: within 12 months post-intervention

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 2, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
