Endovascular therapy of thoracic aneurysms: Gore TAG trial results

Seminars in Vascular Surgery
Jae-Sung ChoMichel S Makaroun

Abstract

Although many thoracic endografts are commercially available in Europe, only three such devices have been introduced to the United States. Gore TAG endoprosthesis was the first to enter clinical trials in the United States for treatment of descending thoracic aortic aneurysm, and gained the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration for general use in March 2005. Through clinical trials, the safety and efficacy of the Gore TAG endoprosthesis were proven and shown to be superior to those of open surgical repair. This article details the device and results of these trials.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
