Persistence of blood flow outside the lumen of the stent-graft but within the native aorta or adjacent vascular segment being treated by the stent-graft will be assessed by CT scans or MRIs for subjects unable to tolerate contrast media.
Rate of stent fractures in the attachment zone
Stent fractures in the attachment zone will be assessed at each follow-up visit with CT scans, or MRIs for subjects unable to tolerate contrast media.
Incidence of open or endovascular secondary interventions
Secondary effectiveness will be measured by the incidence of open or endovascular secondary interventions related to the device or treated pathology (ie, interventions to treat malperfusion, rupture, aneurysm formation, or aortic expansion).
Rate of aneurysm expansion
The rate of aneurysm expansion (> 5 mm diameter increase) assessed by comparison of follow-up imaging to the first post-procedural CT
Rate of stent-graft migration
The rate of stent-graft migration (> 10 mm) assessed by comparison of follow-up imaging to the first post-procedural CT.
Individual outcomes of composite MAEs
Secondary effectiveness as measured by the individual outcomes of the composite safety endpoints (death, stroke, paralysis), as well as myocardial infarction (MI), renal failure, respiratory failure, bowel ischemia, and procedural blood loss >1,000 cc.
Rate of vascular access complications
Secondary effectiveness as measured by the rate of vascular access complications reported during the Treatment visit (stent-graft implant). Outcome measures include successful delivery and deployment of the device, as well as withdrawal of the delivery system.
Duration of implant procedure
Duration of the initial implant procedure captured as the number of minutes from introduction of device to removal of delivery system.
Number of blood transfusions
Number of transfusions (units) required from the time of implant through hospital discharge.
Duration of hospitalization
Length of hospital stay defined as number of days subject was hospitalized for the initial implant procedure.
Time in Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
Duration of time in hours that subject was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) following the implant procedure.
