Detailed Description
The WeFlow-Tribranch Aortic Arch Stent Graft System first in man study is a prospective, multi-center, single arm trial, which will enroll a total of 20 patients. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of WeFlow-Tribranch Aortic Arch Stent Graft System in the treatment of patients with aortic arch dissection.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- All-cause mortality and major stroke within 12 months after surgery. [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
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Aortic dissection-related mortality within 12 months post operation. [within 12 months post operation]
Refers to mortality caused by a ruptured aortic dissection or endovascular interventional treatment.
- Aortic remodeling results. [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.
- Major adverse events occurring within 30 days after surgery. [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.
- Incidence of severe adverse events. [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.

-
Patients showing a suitable vascular condition, including:
-
Ascending aorta length greater than 50 mm (from the aortic sinusoid junction to the proximal cardiac margin of the innominate artery).
-
Ascending aorta diameter ≥ 24 mm and ≤ 48 mm;
-
Proximal anchoring zone length ≥ 30 mm;

-
Patients evaluated by at least two vascular surgeons or cardiac surgeons as high surgical risk patients or deemed to have significant surgical contraindications. (The recommended reference criteria are: EuroSCORE score ≥ 6, or CFS score > 4, or ASA grade 3-4, or there are other high-risk surgical factors that affect the prognosis of the subject, such as patients with a history of open surgery, other high-risk factors judged by a physician team, or patients who refuse open surgery.)

Hematological abnormality, defined as follows: Leukopenia (WBC < 3 × 109/L), acute anemia (Hb < 90 g/L); thrombocytopenia (PLT count < 50 × 109/L);
-
Patients with renal insufficiency， serum creatinine > 150 umol/l (or 3.0 mg/dl) and / or end-stage renal disease requiring renal dialysis shall be determined by the investigator after comprehensive analysis;
-
Subjects with severe liver dysfunction and ALT or AST exceeding 3 times the upper limit of normal; Subjects whose serum total bilirubin (STB) exceeds 2 times the upper limit of normal;
-
Patients with intestinal necrosis and lower limb ischemic necrosis;
-
Paraplegic patients;
-
Patients that are pregnant or breastfeeding;
-
Patients with allergies to contrast agents;
-
Patients with a life expectancy of less than 12 months;
-
Patients currently participating in other drug or device research;
-
Any other disease or abnormality that the investigators believe may hinder endovascular interventional treatment.
