Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Proportion of subjects who experience ≥ 1 major adverse events (MAE) related to the experimental device/procedure at early (30-day) and late (6-month) endovascular TAA repair as compared with the open surgical repair group.

    30 day and 6 month

  • The primary effectiveness endpoint of early (30-day) and late (6-month) endovascular TAA repair will be assessed by the proportion of subjects free from major device related events

    30 day and 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • • All cause mortality • Aneurysm related mortality compared to an open surgical control group • Major adverse events • Minor adverse events

    30 day and 6 month

Study Arms (1)

EXPERIMENTAL

those treated with the investigational device

Device: Endovascular repair of TAA in the descending Thoracic Aorta

Interventions

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • Subject is \> 18 years of age. Female subjects are either documented post-menopausal, surgically incapable of bearing children, or for women of childbearing potential, using barrier contraceptive methods and have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening.
  • Subject is a candidate for endovascular thoracic aortic repair.
  • Subject has a TAA that meets one of the following criteria:
  • Is diagnosed with a Fusiform Focal TAA ≥5cm, or
  • Is diagnosed with a Fusiform Focal TAA that has a diameter ≤ 5 cm and has exhibited rapid expansion, or
  • Is diagnosed with a Fusiform Focal TAA that has a diameter ≥ 4.5 cm and is at least twice the size of the normal DTA, or
  • Is diagnosed with a saccular TAA of any size (where potential for rupture is increased\*).
  • Tortuosity and angulation do not exceed 90 degrees.
  • Subject has an arterial access site that allows for the introduction of the stent-graft delivery system.

You may not qualify if:

  • Subject has a life expectancy \< 2 years.
  • Subject has a lesion that prevents safe delivery or expansion of the device.
  • Subject has concomitant ascending aortic aneurysm.
  • Subject has known allergies to any of the device materials.
  • Subject has coagulopathy or bleeding disorders that cannot be pre-treated.
  • Subject is contraindicated for contrast medium and anticoagulation drugs that cannot be pre-treated.
