New stent graft under scrutiny for aortic repair in japan
NCT ID NCT07049913
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is checking how well a device called the GORE® TAG® Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis works for people with a thoracic aortic aneurysm, dissection, or injury. About 200 patients in Japan who receive this stent graft will be followed to see if it is safe and effective. The main goals are to ensure the device can be placed successfully and to track any serious complications like stroke, paralysis, or device problems.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GORE® TAG® Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis (a stent graft device placed in the aorta to repair damage)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that the device is a safe and effective option for treating serious aortic conditions in the chest.
- What could go wrong
- This is a post-market surveillance study, not a randomized trial, so results may not apply to all patients. Risks include stroke, paralysis, kidney failure, or device complications.
