Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • All-cause mortality

    Freedom from death in perioperative and follow up time period

    5 years

  • Stroke and TIA

    Freedom from peri-operative neurologic event

    30 days

  • Aneurysm-related death

    Freedom from aneurysm death related to reintervention or incomplete repair

    5 years

Study Arms (3)

Ascending Aortic Arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Investigational endovascular stent-graft implantation to exclude aneurysm or repair dissection of the ascending aorta.

Device: Endovascular stent-graft implantation

Arch Branch Arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Investigational endovascular stent-graft implantation to exclude aneurysm or repair dissection of the aortic arch.

Device: Endovascular stent-graft implantation

Thoracoabdominal Aortic Arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Investigational endovascular stent-graft implantation to exclude thoracoabdominal aortic pathology including aortic aneurysms, renal artery aneurysms, and superior mesenteric artery aneurysms.

Device: Endovascular stent-graft implantation

Interventions

Endovascular repair of aorta: Patient-specific F/BEVAR treatment

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Life expectancy greater than 2 years
  • Suitable arterial anatomy
  • Absence of systemic disease or allergy that precludes an endovascular repair
  • Capable of giving informed consent and willingness to comply with follow up schedule
  • Patient is considered high or prohibitive risk for open surgical repair of the ascending aneurysm or dissection
  • Have ONE of the following
  • Focal aneurysm in ascending aorta
  • Pseudoaneurysms and/or dissections that are distal to the sinotubular junction.
  • A thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm ≥ 5.0 cm in women and ≥ 5.5 cm in men
  • Have morphology or growth suggestive of immanent rupture
  • Must meet ALL of the following:
  • Proximal Fixation:
  • \>15 mm aortic length distal to a patent coronary artery or coronary artery bypass that are considered patent and necessary for proper cardiac perfusion.
  • Proximal fixation may occur in either native aorta or surgical graft
  • In the setting of the aortic dissection, the proximal fixation must be proximal to the entry tear.
  • +72 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient can be treated in accordance with the instructions for use with a commercially marketed endovascular prosthesis
  • Patient qualifies for treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic repair under an industry-sponsored clinical trial, open to enrollment at the Massachusetts General Hospital \& Brigham and Women's Hospital
  • Pregnancy
  • History of anaphylactic reaction to contrast material with an inability to properly prophylax the patient appropriately
  • Known sensitivity or allergy to materials of construction of the device (including the materials of the LP device).
  • Body habitus that would inhibit X-ray visualization of the aorta
  • Subject had a major surgical or interventional procedure unrelated to the treatment of the aneurysm planned \<30 days from the endovascular repair
  • Unstable angina
  • Unwilling to comply with follow up schedule
  • Systemic or local infection that may increase the risk of endovascular graft infection
  • An uncorrectable coagulopathy
