Brief Summary

An investigator-initiated, prospective, consecutively enrolling, non-randomized single institution clinical evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of branched and fenestrated-branched endovascular...

Detailed Description

A branched thoracic endograft is a commercially manufactured endograft that has reinforced fenestrations or branches in the graft through which covered stent grafts can be deployed to preserve blood f...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • All patients must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment into this study:
  • Patient is \> 18 years of age
  • Patients who are male or non-pregnant female (females of child bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to enrollment into the study)
  • Patient or Legally Authorized Representative has signed an Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved Informed Consent Form
  • Patient is considered by the treating physician to be at high risk of open surgical repair due to one or more major medical co-morbidities (i.e. CAD, CHF, COPD, CRI, advanced age, generalized deconditioning, or other.) with ASA of 3 or more.
  • The patient has a life expectancy of greater than 1 year.
  • The patient has a thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm where necessary visceral branch vessels (i.e. the celiac, superior mesenteric, inferior mesenteric, renal and/or dominant spinal arteries) arise from the aneurysm or seal zones necessary for on-label thoracic endovascular repair
  • Patient has a thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm that meets at least one of the following:
  • aneurysm \> 5.5 cm in diameter
  • aneurysm has increased in size by 0.5 cm in last 6 months
  • aneurysm is believed to be causing symptoms
  • Patient has sufficient arterial access (femoral and/or iliac) that will allow delivery of the endovascular device with or without the use of a surgical conduit.
  • Patient has suitable proximal (aorta) and distal (aorta or iliac) arteries to allow for adequate fixation and seal:
  • A. Non-aneurysmal proximal aortic seal zone:
  • with a length of 25 mm of proximal seal in non-aneurysmal aorta, with or without coverage of the left subclavian artery,
  • with an outer wall diameter of no less than 20 mm and no greater 38mm, and
  • B. Non-aneurysmal distal aortic or iliac landing zone:
  • With a length of at least 15 mm,
  • Aortic seal zone no less than 15 mm and no greater than 38 mm or Iliac seal zone with an outer wall diameter of no less than 8 mm and no greater than 23 mm.
  • 10\. The patient has no more than 5 necessary visceral arteries that require flow preservation.
  • 11\. All target visceral artery seal zones are \> 4 mm in diameter. 12. Patient must be willing to comply with all required follow-up exams.

Exclusion

  • Patients that meet ANY of the following are not eligible for enrollment into the study:
  • Patient has an active systemic infection
  • Patient has a mycotic aneurysm.
  • Patient has a known hypersensitivity to contrast media that is not amenable to pre-treatment.
  • Patient has an absolute contra-indication to anticoagulation
  • Patient has a known allergy or intolerance to stainless steel, nickel, or gold
  • Patient has a body habitus that would inhibit adequate X-ray visualization of the aorta
  • Patient has a dominant artery to the spinal cord arising from an area of stent graft coverage that is not amenable to preservation using an endovascular branch
  • Patient is currently participating in another investigational device or drug clinical trial
  • Patient has other medical, social or psychological conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, preclude them from receiving the pre-treatment, required treatment, and post-treatment procedures and evaluations.
  • Patient has a freely ruptured TAAA with hemodynamic instability
  • Patient has unstable angina (defined as angina with a progressive increase in symptoms, new onset at rest or nocturnal angina, or onset of prolonged angina)
  • Patient has had a major surgical or interventional procedure unrelated to the treatment of the aneurysm planned within 30 days of the TAAA repair. Adjunctive procedures for treatment of the TAAA (i.e. carotid-subclavian bypass or iliac conduit) are acceptable.
  • Patient has a history of connective tissue disease (e.g. Marfan or Ehlers Danlos syndromes)
