New 'Internal Sleeve' tested to prevent deadly aortic rupture

NCT ID NCT03728985

Summary

This study is testing a new medical device called the GORE EXCLUDER TAMBE System to repair dangerous bulges in the body's main artery (aortic aneurysms). The device is a flexible, fabric-covered stent that doctors insert through blood vessels to reinforce the weakened artery wall from the inside, aiming to prevent a life-threatening rupture. The trial enrolled about 102 patients with complex aneurysms to see if this less invasive procedure is safe and effective compared to traditional open surgery.
