About This Aortic Aneurysm Study in Lebanon

The primary clinical objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a physician-modified, fenestrated and branched aortic endoprosthesis for the treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs). The goal of the primary analysis is to demonstrate both the safety and effectiveness of using a physician-modified fenestrated Cook Zenith Alpha Thoracic Endovascular Graft as compared to previously published results of open surgical replacement of the aneurysmal aorta.

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Must be a man or woman 50 years of age or older by the date of informed consent
Must have a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm of any Crawford classification (extent I-V) that extends no more proximal than the left subclavian artery.
Must have an aneurysm size that meets standard indications for surgical repair (6.0 cm in maximum diameter in the descending thoracic aorta, or 5.5 cm in maximum diameter in the abdominal aorta)
Must be considered, in the judgement of the Investigator, to be a high- risk candidate for open surgical repair
Must commit to comply with the five-year study assessment schedule of events
Must have a non-aneurysm-related life expectancy, in the judgement of the Investigator, of greater than 2 years Expanded Selection Inclusion Criteria:
Must be a man or woman 50 years of age or older by the date of informed consent
Must have a thoracic, thoracoabdominal, or abdominal aortic aneurysm that necessitates coverage of one or more visceral vessels (celiac, superior mesenteric, or renals) for establishment of proximal and/or distal seal. The aneurysm must not extend proximal to the left subclavian artery, or, in the setting of more proximal disease, that disease must have been previously treated.
Must have an aneurysm size that meets standard size indications for surgical repair (6.0 cm in maximum diameter in the descending thoracic aorta, or 5.5 cm in maximum diameter in the abdominal aorta); or, in the judgment of the Investigator, has aneurysm characteristics that portend a high risk of near-term rupture
In the setting of an aortic dissection the following criteria must exist:
Access into the true lumen from the groin and at least one supra-aortic trunk vessel
A sealing zone in the target aorta (or surgical graft) that is proximal to the primary dissection, such that a stent graft would be anticipated to seal off the dissection lumen
A sealing zone in the target supra-aortic trunk vessels that is distal to the dissection, anticipated to seal off the dissection lumen, or surgically created
A true lumen size large enough to deploy the device and still gain access into the target branches
Must be considered, in the judgement of the Investigator, to be a high-risk candidate for open surgical repair
Patient must be able to provide informed consent
Must commit to comply with the five-year study assessment schedule of events
Must have a non-aneurysm-related life expectancy, in the judgement of the Investigator, of greater than 2 years Main Arm

Exclusion Criteria

Aneurysm due to acute or chronic dissection, intramural hematoma, penetrating aortic ulceration, pseudoaneurysm, mycotic aneurysm, or traumatic transection
Ruptured or acutely symptomatic aortic aneurysm
Known connective tissue disorder
Imaging demonstrating any of the following:
Lack of 20 mm non-aneurysmal proximal seal zone (zone 3, or zone 2 with a carotid-subclavian bypass or transposition)
Lack of 15 mm non-aneurysmal distal seal zone(s) (aortic, common iliac, or external iliac)
Branch vessel target (renal, superior mesenteric, or celiac) \< 5 mm or \> 10 mm in average diameter
Untreated left subclavian artery stenosis or occlusion
Untreated unilateral or bilateral hypogastric artery occlusion
Signs that the inferior mesenteric artery is indispensable
Have branching, duplication, aneurysm, or untreatable stenosis of the celiac, superior mesenteric artery, or renal arteries that would preclude implantation of the investigational devices
Known allergies to stainless steel, PTFE, polyester, polypropylene, nitinol, or gold
History of anaphylaxis to contrast, with inability to prophylax appropriately.
Have uncorrectable coagulopathy
Have unstable angina
Have a body habitus that would inhibit X-ray visualization of the aorta
Have a major surgical or interventional procedure unrelated to the treatment of the aneurysm planned ≤30 days of the endovascular repair
Known to be participating in any other clinical study which may affect performance of this - Ability to bear children
Contraindication to oral antiplatelet therapy
Prisoners or those on alternative sentencing
Known systemic infection with potential for endovascular graft infection
Anticipated need for MRI scanning within 3 months of insertion of investigational product
Candidate for repair under the Instructions for Use of a commercially available, FDA-approved endovascular graft
Can enroll in a manufacturer-sponsored clinical study at our institution or is willing and eligible to participate in a study with a manufacturer-made device at another institution. Expanded Selection Exclusion Criteria:
Known or suspected mycotic aneurysm
Ruptured aneurysm with hemodynamic instability
Known connective tissue disorder
Imaging demonstrating any of the following:
Lack of 20 mm non-aneurysmal proximal seal zone (in either native aorta, elephant trunk graft, or aortic arch endograft)
Lack of 15 mm non-aneurysmal distal seal zone(s) (in either native aortoiliac vessels, prosthetic aortoiliac grafts, or aortoiliac endografts)
Branch vessel target (renal, superior mesenteric, or celiac) \> 10 mm in average diameter
Known allergies to stainless steel, PTFE, polyester, polypropylene, nitinol, or gold
History of anaphylaxis to contrast, with inability to prophylax appropriately.
Have uncorrectable coagulopathy
Have a body habitus that would inhibit X-ray visualization of the aorta
Have a major surgical or interventional procedure unrelated to the treatment of the aneurysm planned ≤ 30 days of the endovascular repair
Known to be participating in any other clinical study which may affect performance of this device
Ability to bear children
Contraindication to oral antiplatelet therapy
Prisoners or those on alternative sentencing
Known systemic infection with potential for endovascular graft infection
Anticipated need for MRI scanning within 3 months of insertion of investigational product
Candidate for repair under the Instructions for Use of a commercially available, FDA- approved endovascular graft
Can enroll in a manufacturer-sponsored clinical study at our institution or is willing and eligible to participate in a study with a manufacturer-made device at another institution
Other conditions or comorbidities that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would exclude the patient
