Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will assess the initial feasibility of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis (TAMBE Device) in the treatment of Aortic Aneurysms Involving the Visceral Branch Vessels.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, non-randomized study designed to assess the feasibility of the TAMBE Device in the treatment of patients with aortic aneurysms involving the visceral branch vessels. A maximum of 10 Subjects will be treated under this Protocol. This clinical study will include up to six sites in the US. Each enrolled subject will undergo periodic follow-up evaluations involving physical exams, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of chest, abdomen and pelvis, creatinine measurement, abdominal ultrasound (optional) at specific, protocol-defined intervals for a period of five years following the GORE® EXCLUDER® Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis implant.

TAMBE Device

Study designed to assess the feasibility of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis (TAMBE Device) in the treatment of patients with aortic aneurysms involving the visceral branch vessels. Patients with thoracoabdominal or pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysms are eligible for screening for participation in the study. The particular characteristics of the patient's aneurysm and anatomy will determine ultimate eligibility for enrollment. Only patients who meet all of the eligibility criteria will be enrolled.

3. Aneurysmal dilatation due to chronic aortic dissection
4. Infected aorta
5. Mycotic aneurysm
6. Life expectancy \<2 years
7. Myocardial infarction or stroke within 6 weeks of treatment
