Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this registry is to collect safety and performance data on all commercially available Terumo Aortic knitted and woven grafts, and cardiovascular patches in standard clinical practice.

Data will be collected both retrospectively and prospectively.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Gelsoft Plus - Straights and Bifurcated

Patients with aneurysmal or occlusive disease, including those with connective tissue disorders who have received/will receive a Gelsoft Plus Straight or Bifurcate, implanted in the abdomen or peripheral arteries in the last 5 years and from study launch onwards.

Gelsoft Plus Vascular Graft

Intervention Type DEVICE

Gelatin coated, knitted vascular prosthesis implanted to act as a conduit for channeling blood during repair of damaged or diseased vessels.

Gelsoft Plus - Extra-Anatomical

Any patients who have received/will receive a Gelsoft Plus Extra-Anatomical supported or unsupported graft, implanted for: axillary-femoral bypass, femoral-femoral bypass or femoral-popliteal bypass in the last 5 years and from study launch onwards.

Vascular Bypass Graft

Intervention Type DEVICE

Gelatin coated, knitted vascular prosthesis implanted to act as an extra-anatomical bypass for channeling blood during repair of damaged or diseased vessels.

Cardiovascular Patches - Gelseal, Gelsoft, Thin Wall

Patients who have been implanted with/require a cardiovascular patch for: thoracic vessel repair with a Gelseal Cardiovascular Patch; abdominal or peripheral vessel repair with a Gelsoft Cardiovascular Patch; or carotid endarterectomy with a Thin Wall Carotid Patch in the last 5 years and from study launch onwards.

Cardiovascular Patch

Intervention Type DEVICE

Cardiovascular knitted polyester patches are frequently used to treat the carotid or femoral arteries to prevent stroke and repair damage to vessels.

Gelweave - Abdominal, Thoracic, Thoracoabdominal

Patients who, due to either aneurysmal or occlusive disease, have had/require vascular repair of one of the following, implanted in the last 5 years and from study launch onwards:

* Abdominal aorta, arteries arising from the abdominal aorta or peripheral arteries including femoral, iliac and popliteal arteries.
* Thoracic aorta or arteries arising from the thoracic aorta.
* Abdominal and thoracic aorta requiring a thoracoabdominal repair

Gelweave Vascular Graft

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Gelweave woven polyester vascular graft allows replacement of large sections of arteries and, following anastomosis to the native blood vessel, provides a stable conduit for blood flow.

Gelweave - Valsalva

Patients who have had/require aortic root repair using valve sparing or valve replacing procedures, with or without replacement of the aortic arch, implanted in the last 5 years and from study launch onwards.

Gelweave Valsalva Vascular Graft

Intervention Type DEVICE

This woven polyester graft is designed to match the aortic root anatomy and is implanted to repair or replace a portion of the aorta in case of an aneurysm, dissection or coarctation at the level of the thoracic aorta.
