What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
All-cause mortality and major stroke within 12 months after surgery.
Time Frame: 12 months post-intervention
All-cause mortality includes cardiac mortality, non-cardiac mortality and mortality from unknown causes. Severe stroke is defined as a modified Rankin score (mRS) ≥ 2 at 90 days following stroke onset
12 months post-intervention

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Major adverse events occurring within 30 days after surgery.
Time Frame: within 30 days after surgery
Refers to all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke or respiratory failure occurring within 30 days after surgery. More specifically, myocardial infarction refers to a drastic reduction or complete interruption of the coronary blood supply due to coronary artery disease, resulting in severe and prolonged acute ischemia of the corresponding myocardium, leading to necrosis of cardiomyocytes. Ischemic stroke refers to the end result of necrosis of brain tissue caused by narrowing or occlusion of the arteries supplying blood to the brain or insufficient blood supply to the brain. Respiratory failure is defined as a state resulting in significantly prolonged intubation, tracheotomy, deterioration of lung function, or other fatal outcomes.
within 30 days after surgery
Incidence of severe adverse events.
Time Frame: within 12 months post-intervention
Refers to an event that occurs during the clinical trial that results in mortality or serious deterioration in patient health, including a fatal illness or injury, a permanent defect in body structure or body function, or an event that requires medical or surgical intervention to avoid one or more permanent defects in body structure or body function.
within 12 months post-intervention
Aortic-related mortality within 12 months post operation.
Time Frame: within 12 months post operation
Refers to mortality caused by a ruptured aortic dissection/aneurysm or endovascular interventional treatment.
within 12 months post operation
Aortic remodeling results.
Time Frame: 1 month, 6 months and 12 months post-intervention
Compare the results of CTA before operation and on the 30th day, 6th month and 12th month after operation, the expansion of the true lumen and the thrombosis of the false lumen at the coverage of the aortic dissection vascular stent to determine whether the blood vessel is successfully remodeled，or CTA reexamination 12 months after operation showed that the maximum diameter of Aortic aneurysm increased by ≤ 5 mm compared with that before operation.
1 month, 6 months and 12 months post-intervention
