Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Chronic Dissection Device: NEXUS Aortic Stent Graft System

Arch Stent Graft, whose cranial narrow end is intended to be deployed into the Brachiocephalic artery and whose distal end is intended to be deployed into the Descending Thoracic Aorta.

Ascending Stent Graft intended to be deployed in the Ascending Aorta.

OPTIONAL: Descending Extension can be used in case the aortic lesion elongates further distally and out of the covered length offered by the Arch Stent Graft. Multiple Descending Extensions can be used if needed to cover the entire length of the lesion.


Experimental: Aneurysm Device: NEXUS Aortic Stent Graft System

Arch Stent Graft, whose cranial narrow end is intended to be deployed into the Brachiocephalic artery and whose distal end is intended to be deployed into the Descending Thoracic Aorta.

Ascending Stent Graft intended to be deployed in the Ascending Aorta.

OPTIONAL: Descending Extension can be used in case the aortic lesion elongates further distally and out of the covered length offered by the Arch Stent Graft. Multiple Descending Extensions can be used if needed to cover the entire length of the lesion.


Experimental: Penetrating Aortic Ulcer and/or Intramural Hematoma Device: NEXUS Aortic Stent Graft System

Arch Stent Graft, whose cranial narrow end is intended to be deployed into the Brachiocephalic artery and whose distal end is intended to be deployed into the Descending Thoracic Aorta.

Ascending Stent Graft intended to be deployed in the Ascending Aorta.

OPTIONAL: Descending Extension can be used in case the aortic lesion elongates further distally and out of the covered length offered by the Arch Stent Graft. Multiple Descending Extensions can be used if needed to cover the entire length of the lesion.





Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Device Technical Failure [ Time Frame: 30 Days ]
    • Failure to accurately deliver, track and deploy all required endovascular device components at the intended implantation site and failure to retrieve the device delivery systems without the need for unplanned additional procedures
    • Device occlusion
    • Failed exclusion of primary entry tear
    • Additional unanticipated surgical or interventional procedure related to the device or procedure, to prevent life-threatening or permanent disabling event.

  2. Clinical Failure [ Time Frame: 30 Days ]
    Subjects experiencing early mortality or at least one of the following MAEs through 30-Day of Phase 1 Procedure and 30-Day of Index Procedure: Disabling stroke, permanent paralysis/paraplegia, renal failure, aortic rupture, development of new dissections in the thoracic aorta or brachiocephalic artery.
