Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

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.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

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.

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.

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. Rate of all-cause mortality and major stroke within 12 months after surgery

    All-cause mortality includes cardiac mortality, non-cardiac mortality, and mortality from unknown causes. Severe stroke is defined as a modified Rankin score (mRS) ≥ 2 at 90 days following stroke onset.

    Time frame: 12 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rate of immediate technical success following surgery

    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, and the absence of Type I and III endoleaks and all branching stents patency per imaging studies conducted at the end of the procedure .

    Time frame: immediately after the surgery

  2. Rate of aortic aneurysm progression under control

    Aortic aneurysm progression under control is defined as maximum increase in the diameter of the aortic aneurysm was ≤ 5 mm when compared with preoperative aortic aneurysm as of a 12-month postoperative CTA review.

    Time frame: 12 months after operation

  3. Incidence of Type I or Type III endoleak

    Endoleak detected by DSA or CTA during operation and at 1, 6, and 12 months after operation. Intraoperative endoleaks subject to adjuvant treatment are not recorded. Endoleaks occurring after the completion of the procedure followed by one or more endoleaks occurring in the same subject at different follow-up stages that were not treated are counted as a single instance.

    Time frame: during operation and at 1, 6, and 12 months after operation

  4. Incidence of aortic covered stent graft displacement

    CTA examination will be performed at 6 months, and 12 months after operation to determine if the stent has migrated, and evaluations will be recorded for both the main and branch stents. Displacement is defined as a nodal aortic or branching stent graft displacement of more than 10 mm compared with that at postoperative day 30.

    Time frame: 6 months, 12 months after operation

  5. Postoperative branch vessel patency rate

    CTA examinations will be performed at 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months after operation to evaluate branch vessel reconstruction and assess for occlusion, stenosis, or in-stent thrombosis.

    Time frame: 1 month, 6 months, 12 months after operation

  6. Rate of conversion to thoracotomy or secondary intervention

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

    Time frame: 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months after operation

  7. Rate of major adverse events

    Refers to all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or respiratory failure occurring within 30 days after surgery. More specifically, myocardial infarction refers to a drastic reduction or complete interruption of the coronary blood supply due to coronary artery disease, resulting in severe and prolonged acute ischemia of the corresponding myocardium, leading to necrosis of cardiomyocytes. Ischemic stroke refers to the result of necrosis of brain tissue caused by narrowing or occlusion of the arteries supplying blood to the brain or insufficient blood supply to the brain. Respiratory failure is defined as a state resulting in significantly prolonged intubation, tracheotomy, deterioration of lung function, or other fatal outcomes.

    Time frame: 30 days after surgery

  8. Rate of aortic aneurysm-related mortality

    Death due to aortic aneurysm rupture or endovascular treatment.

    Time frame: 12 months after operation

  9. 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 permanent defects in body structure or body function.

    Time frame: 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months after operation

  10. Incidence of device-related adverse events

    Device-related adverse events refer to an adverse medical event related to the use of a device that occurs 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. Recording of device-related adverse events will be applicable for conditions that are deemed by the investigator to be definitely related, possibly related to the test device.

    Time frame: 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months after operation
