Clinical Trial Summary

Aim:Castor is a novel single-branched stent graft system for endovascular repair of aortic arch dissection. This is a prospective, one-arm, open, multi-center, pre-market study of Castor stent to evaluate its efficacy and safety in treatment of aortic dissection.

Number of patients: 70 patients will be included and undertaken endovascular repair with Castor stent.

Follow-up: 1.aortic computed tomographic angiography (CTA) examination 6 and 12 months after the surgery 2.telephone or clinical follow-up 30 days and 2-5 years after the surgery

Primary Outcome Measure: success rate of endovascular repair for efficacy measurement.

Secondary Outcome Measure: 1 year stent related adverse event rate for safety measurement.

Other Outcome Measures:

1. efficacy:

- 1 year success rate of treatment

- 1 year patency rate of branch stent

2. safety:

- in-hospital mortality

- complication rate of neural system

- 1 year dissection or stent related mortality
