Brief Summary:
The objective of this study is to determine whether the GORE® TAG® Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis is safe and effective in treating lesions of the aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta, requiring Zone 2 proximal implantation of the device.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Aortic Aneurysm, Thoracic Aorta; Lesion Device: GORE® TAG® Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
For Zone 2, there are two arms (Aneurysm arm, Non-aneurysm arm) and four cohorts, described as follows: Zone 2 Aneurysm, Zone 2 Dissection, Zone 2 Traumatic Transection, and Zone 2 Other Isolated Lesion. Continued access Subjects were enrolled in the Zone 2 Aneurysm arm. The Zone 2 Aneurysm cohort was the only cohort analyzed with a hypothesis test, however data was collected similarly for all cohorts and for continued access Subjects. Zone 2 Subjects enrolled for analysis were from the United States only.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Zone 2 Aneurysm
Includes primary (hypothesis-driven) aneurysm cohort and continued access. Subjects enrolled for treatment with the TBE device with proximal implantation in aortic Zone 2.
Device: GORE® TAG® Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis
Endovascular repair with the TBE Device

Zone 2 Non-aneurysm
Includes dissection, traumatic transection and other isolated aortic lesion cohorts. Subjects enrolled for treatment with the TBE device with proximal implantation in aortic Zone 2.
Device: GORE® TAG® Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis
Endovascular repair with the TBE Device




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of Participants With Primary Endpoint Success for Zone 2 [ Time Frame: 12 Months ]
    Primary Endpoint was composite of the following events: device technical success and absence of aortic rupture, lesion-related mortality, disabling stroke, permanent paraplegia, permanent paraparesis, new onset renal failure requiring permanent dialysis, additional unanticipated post-procedural surgical or interventional procedure related to the device/procedure/withdrawal of the delivery system. Limited to 30 days: disabling stroke, permanent paraplegia, permanent paraparesis, new onset renal failure requiring permanent dialysis.

  5. Infected aorta
  6. Life expectancy <2 years
  7. Myocardial infarction within 6 weeks prior to treatment

  16. Planned coverage of celiac artery
  17. Patient has known sensitivities or allergies to the device materials
  18. Patient has known hypersensitivity or contraindication to anticoagulants or contrast media, which is not amenable to pre-treatment
  19. Previous instance of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia type 2 (HIT-2) or known hypersensitivity to heparin
  20. Patient with a history of a hypercoagulability disorder and/or hypercoagulability state
  21. Diameter taper outside of the device sizing range between proximal and distal landing zones of aorta and the inability to use additional devices of different diameters to compensate for the taper
  22. Mycotic aneurysm
  23. Persistent refractory shock (systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg)
  24. Patient has body habitus or other medical condition which prevents adequate visualization of the aorta
  25. Renal failure defined as patients with an estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) <30 or currently requiring dialysis
