ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how many patients with a condition called type B aortic dissection are able to return to work after being treated and discharged from the hospital. Type B aortic dissection is a serious condition affecting the large blood vessel that carries blood from the heart. The study aims to gather information from patients to understand their experiences and challenges in getting back to work after their treatment.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be between 18 and 60 years old at the time they were diagnosed, have had a full-time or part-time job, and must have been discharged from the hospital at least six months after successfully receiving treatment for their condition. The trial is currently recruiting participants and is open to all genders. Those who are retired, have severe mental health issues, or are participating in other related studies cannot join. Participants can expect to share their experiences in an interview, which will help researchers understand the impact of this condition on returning to work.
