Long-term results of the GORE TAG device in frozen elephant trunk surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the GORE TAG device (a stent used to treat aortic aneurysms and dissections) performs when placed during a 'frozen elephant trunk' surgery. If you had this procedure at least a year ago, your medical records may help doctors understand long-term outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You had a procedure using the GORE TAG device for an aortic aneurysm or dissection at least 12 months ago.
- The GORE TAG device was stitched securely to your aorta or to the surgical graft during the procedure.
- You have signed a consent form (or a legal representative did, or a waiver was granted).
- You did not have an active infection requiring IV antibiotics at the time of the procedure.
- You were not pregnant at the time of the procedure, and your aneurysm or dissection was not already ruptured (unless it was acute, less than 15 days before the procedure).

This registry study tracks patients who have or will receive a Gore thoracic stent graft to see how well the device performs over time. It helps doctors understand the device's long-term benefits and any possible complications.
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 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 gathers information from patients who receive a special stent called the Gore TAG thoracic branched endograft to treat problems in the aorta, the main artery from the heart. Participation helps doctors learn more about how well this device works over time.
This trial tests a new stent graft (a fabric tube that supports your aorta) for people with certain aortic diseases in the chest. It's designed to treat the problem while keeping blood flowing to an important branch artery.
This study tests a new stent device placed through a small incision to help the aorta heal after a recent type A dissection surgery. It aims to reduce the size of the false channel and improve long-term aortic health.
