Summary

The purpose of this study is to gather safety and effectiveness of the Zenith t-Branch and customized physician-specified stent-graft with a combination of fenestrations and/or branches to repair aortic aneurysm.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This clinical trial is studying a medical device called Aortic Arch Aneurysm Arm and a medical device called CAAA and TAAA Arm for people with aortic arch aneurysm, aortic arch dissection, and other related conditions. The study is currently recruiting participants at 3 locations. People eligible for this study include aged 18 Years and older.

Interventions

DEVICECAAA and TAAA Arm

The Zenith Fenestrated-Branched System is a tubular graft made of polyester fabric sewn to stainless steel stents that keep the graft open. The graft will be inserted through arteries in the leg (called endovascular repair). This procedure uses catheters that go inside the blood vessel to place a stent graft above and below the aneurysm. The graft includes 1 to 5 small holes (fenestrations) or cuffs (side branches). One or more than one of the study devices including the Zenith® Fenestrated AAA Endovascular Graft, Zenith® t-Branch Endovascular Graft, Patient-Specific Thoracoabdominal Graft, Patient-Specific Distal Bifurcated Component, and Zenith® Branch Endovascular Graft-Iliac Bifurcation will be implanted. The arteries to the liver, intestine, and kidneys will have a stent (small tubular stainless steel structures) to help keep the arteries open and aligned with the fenestrations or branches.

DEVICEAortic Arch Aneurysm Arm

The Zenith® Arch Branch Endovascular Graft includes the main aortic arch portion and one to three cuffs (side branches) that allow the graft to be located in the aortic arch. The number of cuffs is decided based on the anatomy of your aneurysm. The arteries in the aortic arch are the innominate artery (Zone 0), left common carotid artery (Zone 1) and the left subclavian artery (Zone 2). These arteries supply the right arm and right side of the brain, the left side of the brain and the left arm, respectively. The main aortic endovascular graft will be connected into the innominate artery, left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery using additional stents into the branch vessels.
