Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Primary
A hypothesis driven analysis of the safety and effectiveness of the GORE® Ascending Stent Graft (ASG) device alone in the ascending aorta. Dissection chronicity in the primary arm must be 30 days or less from symptom onset to index endovascular procedure.
GORE® Ascending Stent Graft (ASG device)
Endovascular aortic repair of the ascending aorta
Secondary
Descriptive analysis of use of the ASG device in patients who are not eligible for treatment in the primary arm. Dissection chronicity up to 90 days from symptom onset until the first study procedure is allowed in the secondary arm.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
1. De novo Type A aortic dissection (≤30 days from symptom onset to index endovascular procedure) compatible with the treatment requirements of the ASG device.
2. Primarily intended to be treated by placement of the ASG device in the ascending aorta. Distal adjunctive procedures not in contact with the ASG device may be performed during the index endovascular procedure at the discretion of the Investigator.
3. Anatomic compatibility of the ascending aorta required for implanting the ASG device:
a) Proximal Aortic Landing Zone: i. Primary entry tear must be in the ascending aorta and ≥ 2 cm distal to the most distal coronary artery ostium.
ii. Total aortic diameter between 27mm - 48mm iii. Landing zone cannot be heavily calcified or thrombosed. b) Distal Aortic Landing Zone: i. Primary entry tear must be in the ascending aorta and ≥ 2 cm proximal to BCA ostium.
c) Adequate aortic length
4. The Aortic Treatment Team (as defined by the protocol) attest endovascular repair is in the best interest of the patient AND considers the patient to be high-risk for open surgical repair by meeting at least one of the following criteria:
1. ≥80 years of age
2. Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m2
3. History of Respiratory Insufficiency (defined by home O2 usage, exertional dyspnea, imaging evidence of COPD, previous evidence of compromised pulmonary function tests (PFT) on spirometry or other factors as determined by the Investigator)
4. Prior Cardiac Surgery
5. Hostile Chest (VARC-2 Definition)
6. Clinical Frailty Scale 3-7
7. Clinical malperfusion (head, gut, lower extremity)
8. Transfusion is not possible (e.g., Jehovah's Witness)
9. Renal Dialysis prior to aortic dissection
10. Chronic renal insufficiency (eGFR\<60 without dialysis or other documented history of chronic kidney disease prior to dissection)
5. Age ≥18 years at time of informed consent signature.
6. Adequate vascular access via transfemoral or retroperitoneal approach.
7. Informed Consent Form (ICF) signed by the subject or legally authorized representative.
8. Agrees to comply with protocol requirements, including imaging and 5-year follow-up, as the subject's condition allows.

2. Primarily intended to be treated by placement of the ASG device in the ascending aorta or ASG device in combination with the TBE device in the ascending aorta and aortic arch. Distal adjunctive procedures not in contact with the ASG device may be performed during the index endovascular procedure at the discretion of the Investigator.
3. Anatomic requirements for intended treatment with the ASG device alone or in combination with the TBE device.

1. Primary entry tear must be identified in Zone 0-5.
2. Landing zone is native aorta.
3. Primary entry tear location is ≥2cm distal to the most distal coronary artery ostium.
