PURPOSE OF RESEARCH: You are invited to participate in a research study for treatment of aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta. The investigational device, called the TAG Thoracic Endoprosthesis (device) has been designed to simplify treatment of aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta. The other pathologies treated can include pseudoaneurysms, acute and chronic dissections, penetrating ulcers, mycotic aneurysms, ruptures, fistulae, and transections.The device is made from a graft (an artificial vessel) which is surrounded on the outside by a metal mesh-like form. The device is in the shape of a tube. The device reinforces the weakened part of the aorta from the inside. Blood flows through the device to the arteries that go to your abdomen and legs. The device is folded tightly onto a catheter (a flexible, hollow tube) that is put into the aorta through an artery in your leg. Unless there is a problem, you would not need to have your chest opened.
The purpose of this study is to compare endoluminal stent grafting with the GORE TAG device and Best Medical Therapy (BMT) to BMT alone in the treatment of acute uncomplicated type B aortic dissections.
The purpose of this study is to assess the role endovascular therapy to treat aortic disease involving the ascending aorta, the aortic arch, and the visceral segment of the aorta (or thoracoabdominal aorta)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular repair, using the Thoracic EXCLUDER Endoprosthesis, when used in the treatment of descending thoracic aortic disease as indicated by radiological testing at time of discharge, and 1, 6, 12 months and annually following implantation, and to determine the proportion of patients who experience adverse events during and after the implantation procedure, including disease-specific and overall mortality rates.
Comparing 2 different anaesthetic methods during abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. The patients will be followed up 30 days postoperative. Number of patients included will be 200. Perioperative details will be analyzed.
The objective of this study is to compare treatment with an endograft prothesis versus antihypertensive treatment in patients with a dissection of the thoracic aorta.
