About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm focused on measuring Aortic Aneurysms

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria

The patient must have one of the following:

  1. Degenerative, atherosclerotic thoracoabdominal, suprarenal and juxtarenal aortic aneurysms (fusiform or saccular):≥55mm in diameter in a male or ≥50mm in diameter in a female, or
  2. Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm with a history of growth ≥0.5 cm per year, or
  3. Penetrating ulcers: ≥20mm in depth or
  4. Chronic type B aortic dissections: ≥50mm total aortic diameter or
  5. Symptomatic pathology (aneurysm, ulcer or chronic dissection) of any size.

Additional criteria for LP material

• Iliofemoral access vessels <8mm or with significant atherosclerotic occlusive disease that would require an iliac conduit as determined by the Principle Investigator

Exclusion Criteria

General Criteria

  1. Life-expectancy less than 12 months
  2. Refusal to receive blood products
  3. Age <18 years
  4. Pregnant or breastfeeding or planning on becoming pregnant within 60 months
  5. Unwilling to comply with the follow-up schedule
  6. Inability or refusal to give informed consent by subject and/or Legally Authorized Representative (LAR); should one be utilized

Medical Criteria

  1. Uncontrolled systemic infection
  2. Untreatable malignancy
  3. Uncontrollable anaphylaxis to iodinated contrast
  4. Known allergy(ies) to device materials

Anatomic Criteria

  1. Any pathology of mycotic origin
  2. Aortic fistulous communication with non-vascular structure (e.g. esophagus, bronchial)
  3. Inability to insert the Zenith® t-Branch device through iliofemoral approach
  4. Proximal and distal neck angle less than 90 degrees relative to the long axis of the aneurysm
  5. Proximal landing zone length <25mm to allow secure fixation and seal
  6. Proximal landing zone diameter of <24mm or >42mm
  7. Distal landing zone length <25mm in the abdominal aorta or <20mm in the iliac arteries
  8. Distal landing zone diameter of <14mm or >30mm in the abdominal aorta, or <7mm or >28mm in the iliac arteries

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Single Treatment Arm

Arm Description

All subjects enrolled will receive endovascular treatment with the investigational Zenith t-Branch Endovascular Graft.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Early Mortality
The primary aim of this study is to determine the rate of early mortality after branch endograft treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Rates of Neurologic Complications/Late Branch Vessel Patency
The secondary aims of this study are to determine the rates of neurologic complications and late branch vessel patency after branch endograft treatment, and the fractional/proportional/percent applicability/eligibility of the (standard, off-the-shelf) Zenith® t-Branch in all patients who present with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms

Experimental
Arm Description
All subjects enrolled will receive endovascular treatment with the investigational Zenith t-Branch Endovascular Graft.
Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Zenith® t-Branch
Intervention Description
The t-Branch Endovascular Graft (Zenith® t-Branch) is a tubular graft with four branches and a covered stent at the proximal end that contains barbs for additional fixation of the device. The purpose of the branches is to allow uninterrupted blood flow to visceral vessels of the aorta. The graft is designed to be connected with celiac, superior mesenteric and two renal arteries via self-expanding covered bridging stents. Although the standard Zenith t-Branch has four branches, it is anticipated that a small number of custom-made three branch devices will be included in this study for those patients in whom one of the visceral vessels is chronically thrombosed.
