NCT04808661

Brief Summary

This trial is a multicenter, open-label and prospective randomized controlled study to compare 1-year outcomes of uncomplicated type B intramural hematoma (IMH) patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) plus optimal medical therapy (OMT) with that of those undergoing OMT alone. The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that 1-year aortic-related adverse events are lower in TEVAR plus OMT group than that in OMT alone group. The secondary objective is to test the hypothesis that 1-year all-cause mortality, aortic-related mortality and re-intervention are lower in TEVAR plus OMT group than that in OMT alone group.
