Abstract:
US FDA approval of the conformable Gore TAG thoracic endoprosthesis for multiple indications including aneurysm, traumatic transection and Type B dissection marks significant progress in minimally invasive therapies for the treatment of complex, life-threatening thoracic aortic pathology. This second generation device, with its enhanced flexibility and conformability, is providing improvements in both short- and long-term outcomes for many patients who may otherwise be denied life-saving treatment for thoracic aortic pathology.
