Study of TBE device for aortic arch problems in Japan
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is for people with certain aortic arch or descending aorta problems (like an aneurysm or dissection) who may be helped by a special branch stent graft. The device is designed to repair the damaged area while keeping blood flowing to one important arm or head artery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have one of these conditions: a thoracic aortic aneurysm, a traumatic tear in the aorta, or a complicated aortic dissection (type A after surgery or type B not helped by medicine).
- Your doctor must decide this device is right for you based on the official instructions in Japan.
- The device should only need to keep blood flowing to one main branch artery from your aortic arch.
- The shape and size of your aorta must meet the device's requirements.

This trial tests a device called the GORE TAG Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis (TBE) for people with certain diseases in the descending part of the main artery in the chest. It's designed to treat conditions like aortic aneurysm, traumatic tears, or complex aortic dissections while keeping blood flow to a key artery in the left arm.
This study is checking how well the GORE TAG Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis works for people who need a stent graft in a specific part of the aorta (Zone 0 or 1). It may help if you have an aneurysm or other condition requiring treatment in that area.
This trial tracks patients who receive a specific type of stent (Gore TAG branched endograft) to treat problems in the main chest artery (aorta). It helps doctors learn how well the device works over time.
This study tests a new stent graft placed through the groin/back to treat problems in the ascending aorta (and sometimes the arch), usually when open-heart surgery is considered too risky. Doctors will check whether the device is safe and works well over time, including imaging and a long follow-up.
This early feasibility study tests a new branched stent graft (MBA device) designed to treat problems in the upper part of the aorta (the main artery from your heart) that involve branches going to your arms and head. The device may help patients who are considered too risky for traditional surgery.
This trial tests a special stent graft to repair a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the main artery in your chest and belly). It is for people whose aneurysm is too risky to treat with open surgery and who cannot use standard endovascular grafts.
