They must have specific measurements of their aorta, be high-risk surgical candidates (ASA score IV), and not pregnant or expected to live less than one year due to another condition.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the Valiant PS-IDE Stent Graft System in patients with ascending thoracic aortic pathologies. It aims to see if this endovascular repair method is feasible and safe for those who are unsuitable for conventional surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications related to the stent graft placement such as infection, allergic reactions to materials, blockage of blood flow, or impact on heart valve function.
