A Clinical Study of the TAG Thoracic Endoprosthesis in the Treatment of Thoracic Aortic Diseases for Non-Surgical Candidates Under the Physician Sponsored IDE.
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Endovascular Stent-graft repair of descending thoracic aorta for Aneurysm, Dissecting and Aortic Aneurysm, Thoracic. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
PURPOSE OF RESEARCH: Endovascular stent-graft repair of aortic pathologies is a minimally-invasive alternative to open surgery that may decrease morbidity and mortality, particularly in high risk patients. Optimal patient selection, based on pathology and anatomy, is being defined. Technically successful implantation requires adequate assessment of pathology and anatomy, and development and execution of novel and delicate procedures that resolve the pathology while minimizing morbidity and mortality.
