Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility and clinical benefits of the AMDS to treat patients with acute DeBakey type I dissections and/or intramural hematomas (IMH) involving the ascending aorta and aortic arch through open surgical repair.


Clinical Trial Description

AMDS is designed to complement the replacement of the ascending aorta with conventional surgical technique utilizing a conventional polyester graft. AMDS is constructed of an uncovered Nitinol wire braided stent attached proximally to a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) felt graft component. The PFTE felt graft component excludes the FL at the distal aortic anastomosis and the wire stent re-expands the dissection flap within the arch and descending aorta, which aims to treat malperfusion and promote positive remodeling of the aorta. The DARTS I Feasibility study is a prospective, non-randomized, non-blinded, single-arm, multi-institutional Canadian study evaluating the feasibility and safety of the AMDS graft. A goal of 40 subjects will be enrolled at approximately 5 sites in Canada. The enrollment period will span a minimum of 12 months from Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and site activation. Candidates for this study are adults who require repair of an acute DeBakey type I aorta dissection and/or intramural hematoma (IMH). Patients will be consented pre-operatively and enrolled patients will be followed for approximately 5 years after their AMDS implantation date. Data will be collected at 10 time points: baseline (pre-operatively), discharge, 1 month post-operatively, 3 months post-operatively, and 6 months post-operatively, 1 year post-operatively and thereafter, annually, for a total of 5 years. ;
