WeFlow-EndoSeal Aorta Vascular Plug System added to TEVAR for Stanford Type B Aortic Dissection

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the WeFlow-EndoSeal™ Aorta Vascular Plug System Combined With TEVAR for the Treatment of Stanford Type B Aortic Dissection

Run by Hangzhou Endonom Medtech Co., Ltd. · NCT07658651 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether adding the WeFlow-EndoSeal vascular plug to TEVAR helps patients with Stanford type B dissection more than TEVAR alone.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18–80 with subacute or chronic Stanford Type B dissection scheduled for TEVAR and suitable vascular access.

Probably not a fit

Patients without favorable anatomy or those who do not tolerate the devices may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter, randomized controlled trial comparing two treatment approaches for subacute or chronic Stanford type B aortic dissection: TEVAR alone versus TEVAR plus the WeFlow-EndoSeal Aorta Vascular Plug System. Participants are adults aged 18 to 80 undergoing TEVAR and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio. The study aims to assess safety and efficacy of the combined approach, focusing on therapeutic outcomes without increasing adverse events. The trial collects imaging and clinical follow-up data to evaluate false lumen occlusion, aortic remodeling, and complication rates. Lead sponsor is Hangzhou Endonom Medtech Co., Ltd., with the first participating center at The Chinese PLA General Hospital in Beijing.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience better aortic repair with potentially fewer complications compared to TEVAR alone.

How similar studies have gone: The efficacy of adjunct devices with TEVAR has shown promise in some studies, but results are context-dependent and this trial aims to provide direct comparative data.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients aged 18 to 80 years old.
2. Patients are diagnosed with subacute or chronic Stanford Type B aortic dissection and are scheduled to undergo TEVAR.
3. Upon imaging evaluation, The the maximum diameter of the false lumen landing zone where the vascular plug is intended to be deployed shall be in the descending thoracic aorta is ≤ ■■ mm..
4. Patients have suitable access conditions evaluated by imaging, allowing the steerable catheter delivery systems to enter the false lumen via the iliac artery, infrarenal aorta, or at the level of the renal artery tear.
5. Patients are able to understand the purpose of the trial, participate in this study voluntarily, has signed the informed consent form personally or via their legal representative, and is willing to complete follow-up in accordance with the protocol requirements.
