FLAGSTAFF, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. (Gore) today announced that Pierre Galvagni Silveira, MD, PhD, from the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Florianopolis, Brazil, enrolled the first two patients in the Gore Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Clinical Study. This initial feasibility study of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis will assess the safety of the device implantation procedure in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms encroaching on or involving visceral branch vessels.
Currently, treatment options for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms involving the visceral segment are limited, with physicians often having to rely on endovascular devices that are not designed for this purpose. The Gore Thoracoabdominal Study seeks to assess the feasibility of the GORE EXCLUDER Thoracoabdominal Branch Device. The system of devices is designed to provide physicians with a complete “off-the-shelf” endovascular solution for aortic aneurysms encroaching on or involving the visceral section of the aorta.
