Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

TAMBE Device

Arm Description

Study designed to assess the feasibility of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis (TAMBE Device) in the treatment of patients with aortic aneurysms involving the visceral branch vessels. Patients with thoracoabdominal or pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysms are eligible for screening for participation in the study. The particular characteristics of the patient's aneurysm and anatomy will determine ultimate eligibility for enrollment. Only patients who meet all of the eligibility criteria will be enrolled.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Absence of the Following Procedural Safety Events: Death, Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, Bowel Ischemia, Paraplegia, Respiratory Failure, Renal Failure, Procedural Blood Loss ≥1000 mL
Absence of the following procedural safety events through 30 days post-procedure: Death, Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, Bowel Ischemia, Paraplegia, Respiratory Failure, Renal Failure, Procedural Blood Loss ≥1000 mL

Secondary Outcome Measures

Technical Success, Including Individual Components of Technical Success
Components of Technical Success: Successful access to the necessary arterial sites, successful deployment of all required TAMBE Device components, Patency of all required TAMBE Device components and any required accessory components on completion angiography, absence of surgical conversion within 24 hours of initial of procedure
Device Integrity, Including Individual Components of Device Integrity
Components of Device Integrity: Loss of functional patency in any treated branch component due to thrombus or mechanical failure of branch component, loss of functional patency in main body component(s) due to thrombus or mechanical failure of main body components(s) , separation of treated branch component from the main body component(s), separation of the main body component(s) from the accessory components
Patency (Primary, Assisted Primary, and Secondary)
Primary Patency - Blood flow without occlusion maintained through the device without an intervention. Assisted Primary Patency: Blood flow maintained through the device after implant regardless of re-interventions performed. Secondary Patency - Blood flow through the device (following occlusion) regardless of re-interventions performed and freedom from surgical bypass.
Absence of Type I and Type III Endoleaks at One Month Follow-up
Absence of Type I and Type III endoleaks

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will assess the initial feasibility of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis (TAMBE Device) in the treatment of Aortic Aneurysms Involving the Visceral Branch Vessels.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, non-randomized study designed to assess the feasibility of the TAMBE Device in the treatment of patients with aortic aneurysms involving the visceral branch vessels. A maximum of 10 Subjects will be treated under this Protocol. This clinical study will include up to six sites in the US. Each enrolled subject will undergo periodic follow-up evaluations involving physical exams, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of chest, abdomen and pelvis, creatinine measurement, abdominal ultrasound (optional) at specific, protocol-defined intervals for a period of five years following the GORE® EXCLUDER® Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis implant.
