Study Type: Interventional Study Design: Treatment, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Single Group Assignment, Safety and Efficacy study Official Title: A Clinical Study of the TAG Thoracic Endoprosthesis in the Treatment of Thoracic Aortic Diseases for Non-Surgical Candidates under the Physician Sponsored IDE. 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 look at the systemic inflammatory response caused when patients undergo thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair (TAAA). In addition, this study will look at how the inflammatory response affects the post operative healing process and post operative complications.
The purpose of this randomized trial was to determine whether renal perfusion with cold blood provides better protection against renal ischemia than perfusion with cold crystalloid in patients undergoing TAAA repair with left heart bypass.
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the 45 mm TAG device in subjects with aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta.
A Descending Thoracic Aneurysm is a bulge in the aorta. The aorta is a large blood vessel that carries blood away from your heart to organs in the rest of your body. Your aneurysm is caused by a weakening in the artery wall. If left untreated, this bulge may continue to grow larger and may ultimately rupture (break open) or extend in size to seriously affect other major arteries in the area. In this Research Study a device will be placed inside your aorta to block the weakened part of the artery wall from the circulatory system. Information will be collected on the performance for the device for 5 years.
The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether the Talent Thoracic Stent Graft, an investigational device, is a safe and effective method of treating thoracic aortic aneurysms (abnormal ballooning of the vessel wall) and other thoracic lesions (dissections, transections, pseudoaneurysms, penetrating ulcers, etc.). The endovascular method is a substitute for the major operation that is performed to treat the lesions.
The purpose of this post-approval study is to evaluate the long-term performance of the GORE TAG® Thoracic Endoprosthesis (TAG device) in the primary treatment of descending thoracic aortic (DTA) aneurysms
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 Valiant stent-graft system is a flexible, implantable vascular stent-graft endoluminal device preloaded in a delivery system that is used to exclude thoracic aortic lesions (thoracic aneurysms, thoracic dissections, penetrating ulcers, traumatic transections and both traumatic and degenerative pseudoaneurysms.
