The goal of this observational study is to collect mid-term post-market clinical follow-up data of GORE® TAG® Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis used according to the standard medical practice in patients presenting with vascular disease. This registry aims to answer questions related to the efficacy and safety of GORE® TAG® Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis.
The purpose of the GORE® TAG® Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis Registry is to collect real-world data for this device. Due to the nature of the registry, patient selection, diagnostic imaging, and treatment interventions will be determined by physicians based on standard clinical practice. Therefore, the Sponsor will not be outlining requirements that would influence healthcare decisions. Participants will be asked to return for regular scheduled visits as requested by their surgeon. Patients will report any issues they may have regarding the device or surgery to their surgeon/doctor.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
200
Patients presenting with thoracic vascular disease that may benefit from the placement of TBE device. The target registry population is patients who are treated with TBE at participating sites. TBE treatment is qualified as receiving the TBE aortic component, at a minimum.

Deployment Technical Success
Successful access, delivery, and accurate deployment of the device to the intended location, and retrieval of the delivery system. The absence of any additional corrective procedure related to the device, procedure, or withdrawal of the delivery system. Events will not include interventions at the access site(s), lumbar drains to address spinal cord ischemia, or additional interventions to address non-treatment areas.
Time frame: Time of Surgery
Lesion-related Mortality
Death related to the index endovascular procedure or following conversion to open repair and death related to a complication from a secondary procedure associated with the index lesion or registry device. Any death where the treated disease / index lesion or registry device caused or significantly contributed to the death, including lesion-rupture, aortic-related complications, disease progression involving the index lesion.
Time frame: Day 30 through Year 2
Lesion Rupture (treated area)
Rupture in the treated segment of the vessel (e.g., aorta or branch) verified with direct observation or CT / CTA scan.
Time frame: Time of Surgery through Year 2
Lesion Enlargement (treated area)
An increase in maximum vessel (e.g., aorta or treated branch) diameter of \> 5 mm in the region encompassed by the initial lesion as compared to baseline using orthogonal (i.e., perpendicular to the centerline) measurements on CT / CTA scans.
Time frame: Time of Surgery through Year 2
Endoleaks (Type I-V)
Perfusion of a treated lesion identified through imaging analysis.
Time frame: Time of Surgery through Year 2
Device Migration
Longitudinal movement of all or part of the device for a distance ≥ 10 mm, as confirmed by CTA scan, relative to anatomical landmarks and device positioning at the first post-operative CTA scan.
Time frame: Time of Surgery through Year 2
Loss of Aortic / Branch Patency
No flow or contrast detected through the implanted aortic and/or branch component (for branched devices) confirmed with imaging and/or direct observation.
Time frame: Time of Surgery through Year 2
Stroke
Stroke is the acute onset of symptoms consistent with focal or multifocal central nervous system (CNS) injury caused by vascular blockage resulting in ischemia or vascular rupture resulting in hemorrhage, that either persists for \> 24 hours or until death or symptoms lasting \< 24 hours, with pathology or neuroimaging confirmation of CNS infarction.
Time frame: Time of Surgery through Year 2
Paraplegia
New onset spinal cord injury rendering a subject non-ambulatory.
Time frame: Time of surgery through Day 30
Paraparesis
New onset spinal cord injury causing a minor motor deficit of the lower extremities.
Time frame: Time of surgery through Day 30
New Onset Renal Failure
New onset sustained renal failure identified within 30 days of the index endovascular procedure, combined with requiring dialysis for \> 4 weeks.
Time frame: Time of surgery through Day 30
Renal Function Deterioration
New onset of a decrease in eGFR \> 30% following treatment when compared to baseline eGFR.
Time frame: Time of surgery through Year 2
Device Integrity Events
wire fractures, stent kinking, disruption/tears in the graft component, or stent compression or invagination identified through imaging analysis.
Time frame: Time of Surgery through Year 2
Reintervention
Additional surgical or interventional procedure related to the treated disease / index lesion, the registry device, or to the treatment / procedure. This may include surgical or interventional treatment for endoleaks, access site(s) complications, disease progression (including interventions to address issues related to non-treated area of the index lesion, such as bare stent implantation to address bowel ischemia associated with aortic dissection), spinal drains for Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) management, or conversion to open surgery.
Time frame: Time of Surgery through Year 2
Access-related Complications
Complications associated with the access sites used during treatment and any subsequent unplanned access-related reinterventions. This may include pseudoaneurysm, hematoma, thrombosis, or complications associated with percutaneous closure devices.
Time frame: Time of Surgery through Year 2
Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
Transient focal neurological signs or symptoms (lasting \<24 h) presumed to be due to focal brain ischemia but without evidence of acute infarction by neuroimaging or pathology (or in the absence of imaging)
Time frame: Time of Surgery through Year 2
Life Threatening Bleed
An event leading to either diagnosed hypovolemic shock, required four or more packed red blood cell units or directly led to subject death.
Time frame: Time of Surgery through Year 2
Upper Extremity Ischemia
Clinically-reported, device-related ischemia not evident at the time of the index procedure with CTA-verified branch vessel compromise (i.e., malperfusion)
Time frame: Time of Surgery through Year 2
False Lumen Status - Treated Segment
Status of the false lumen within the segment of the aorta initially treated with an endovascular stent graft. It is divided in patent, partial thrombosis and complete thrombosis.
Time frame: Time of Surgery through Year 2
False Lumen Status - Untreated Segment
Status of the false lumen outside of the segment of the aorta initially treated with an endovascular stent graft. It is divided in patent, partial thrombosis and complete thrombosis.
Time frame: Time of Surgery through Year 2
False Lumen Perfusion
Flow into the false lumen via Type IA entry flow, Type IB entry flow, Type II entry flow and Type R entry flow.
