About This Aortic Aneurysm Study in Gainesville

The Goal of this Clinical Study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Rapidlink device in the repair or replacement of the supra-aortic vessels during open surgical repair of aortic disease affecting the thoracic aorta. This study will collect information on patients who are already having surgery to repair their aorta and who will have Rapidlink device implanted into one or more of the aortic arch vessels. The first 32 subjects enrolled will undergo left subclavian artery repair or replacement, only, with the Rapidlink device. After the 32nd subject, enrollment will proceed to include subjects undergoing any supra-aortic vessel (i.e., left subclavian artery, left common carotid artery, and/or innominate artery) repair or replacement with the Rapidlink device in a planned surgery. After the 32nd subject is enrolled in the main group, up to 30 subjects will undergo supra-aortic vessel (i.e., left subclavian artery, left common carotid artery, and/or innominate artery) repair or replacement with the Rapidlink device in an emergency setting. Data will be collected before, during and after surgery including recovery at discharge, 30 days, 6 months, 1 and 2 years after the surgery.

Patient's need for open surgical repair of the thoracic aorta using a Gelweave graft or a Thoraflex Hybrid device (AnteFlo or Plexus) in line with the applicable IFU
Anticipated need to use Rapidlink for the repair or replacement of the LSA, LCCA and/or IA during the open surgical repair
Patient has an 8-15 mm inner diameter (target SAV)
The diameters of the patient's target supra-aortic vessel(s), fall within the ranges specified in the IFU

Patient does not have a clear landing zone equal to the implantable stent length which is free from stenosis, calcification or thrombus.
Patient does not have a sealing zone free from tortuosity.
Patient has significant angulation (\>79° with an internal radius of less than 6mm) for the full implantable stent length
Patient cannot receive anticoagulation / antiplatelet therapy during or after the index procedure as per the protocol
Patient has uncontrolled hypercoagulation
Patient has a condition which may compromise or prevent the necessary imaging requirements
Patient has anatomic variants which would compromise circulation to the first branch off the target artery after placement of the Rapidlink device (unless planned and/or otherwise revascularized)

Patient has known sensitivity to polyester, nitinol, tantalum, or materials of bovine origin
Patient has a ruptured aorta
Patient has active endocarditis or an active infective disorder of the aorta
