Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal participants are pregnant or within 12 weeks postpartum who have a confirmed aortic dissection diagnosed by CTA or echocardiography.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals without aortic dissection or those outside the pregnancy/postpartum window are unlikely to benefit from the study’s findings.

What this trial studies
This is a multicenter observational study conducted in China that records pregnancy-associated aortic dissection events. It collects data on diagnosis by CTA or echocardiography and follows patients through pregnancy and up to 12 weeks postpartum. The study aims to describe maternal and neonatal outcomes and to inform future management strategies. Interventions may include medical therapy or surgical approaches as part of routine care, not mandated by the study protocol. Lead and collaborating centers include DeltaHealth Hospital Shanghai and several major hospitals across the country.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: findings could improve understanding of risks and guide better management for pregnant patients with aortic dissection.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research in this area has provided insights into maternal and neonatal outcomes, with observational data informing practice.
