About this trial

An investigator-initiated, randomized, multicenter, two-arm, open-label study of consecutive patients presenting with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) and malperfusion syndrome (MPS).

Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the difference in all-cause mortality after optimized treatment strategies (OTS) versus traditional treatment strategies (TTS) for ATAAD patients with MPS.

Background: The mortality of ATAAD with MPS is high. However, the management strategies of MPS patients still not to be confirmed. Compare with TTS, OTS as a strategy for ATAAD patients with MPS might have be beneficial results.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Provision of informed consent prior to any study specific procedures;

Acute type A aortic dissection is confirmed by computed tomography angiography;

The symptoms onset within 2 weeks;

Radiographic findings reveal occlusion of the corresponding arteries (including either coronary artery, either carotid artery, celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery or either iliac artery);

Disqualifiers

Age <18 yr and >80 yr;

Unstable condition with cardiac tamponade or aortic rupture on admission;

Multiple types of malperfusion syndrome on admission;

Bloody stools or melena on admission;

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Optimized treatment strategies

    Procedure/Surgery

    The optimized strategies based on 6-hour threshold from symptom onset. For malperfused patients with symptom onset within 6 hours, central repair will be performed immediately. Additional stenting will be used in patients with persistent malperfusion. For malperfused patients with symptom onset beyond 6 hours, individualized delayed central repair according to the different types of MPS will be performed after organ function improved and the patient could tolerate central repair.

  • Traditional treatment strategies

    Procedure/Surgery

    Immediate central repair will be performed for patients with coronary and cerebral malperfusion syndrome. However, for patients with mesenteric and lower extremity malperfusion syndrome, interventional therapy will be administered through fenestration and/or stenting to first alleviate organ ischemia. Once the patients had a resolution of organ failure, corrective open aortic repair will be performed.
