Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) who will be treated with the GORE TAG Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis in Zone 0 or Zone 1 and can comply with long-term follow-up.

Probably not a fit

Some participants may not derive direct benefit and may experience risks or no improvement depending on individual anatomy and clinical course.

What this trial studies

This prospective, multi-center post-market study follows patients treated with the TBE device in Zone 0/1 to track outcomes for a minimum of 5 years and up to 10 years. Enrollment targets include at least 125 subjects across up to 50 U.S. sites, with scheduled follow-ups at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and annually thereafter. The study observes real-world use after approval, focusing on safety and effectiveness in routine clinical practice. Eligible participants include adults treated with the device in Zone 0/1, with follow-up possible for the specified duration, while maintaining standard post-market monitoring requirements.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience improved durability and outcomes from the TBE device in complex aortic arch anatomies, potentially reducing need for additional interventions.

How similar studies have gone: Post-market experience with similar endovascular devices has shown variable success; this study aims to provide long-term real-world data for this specific device and zones 0/1.
