EXtensive mulTilayer stEnt treatmeNt in Aortic disSectiOn

Intressa Vascular SA72 enrolled

Overview

This clinical trial is a prospective, multicenter, open label study designed to evaluate the effectiveness and the safety of the Allay® Aortic Stent as adjunctive endovascular treatment of Type B aortic dissection in patients eligible for thoracic endovascular aortic repair with stent grafts.

Thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) with stent grafts is recommended for patients with acute complicated or high-risk type B aortic dissection (TBAD) as part of standard of care per current medical guidelines. Although the benefits of TEVAR with stent grafts are well established, there remains a significant risk of late complications, including aortic growth requiring reinterventions, or progression and/or rupture. In the present clinical investigation, the investigational procedure of adjunctive thoracic stent graft extension with the Allay® Aortic Stent will consist of the placement of a CE-marked Thoracic Stent Graft in the descending thoracic aorta (proximal to the celiac trunk) followed by the implantation of the Allay® Aortic Stent as adjunctive treatment of TBAD. The study objective is to demonstrate that the Allay® Aortic Stent, used as adjunctive endovascular treatment of Type B aortic dissection in patients eligible for thoracic endovascular aortic repair with stent grafts, results in a low rate of aortic growth requiring secondary reintervention, including open conversion, or aortic rupture in the treated abdominal segment at 12 months. The study will also allow to evaluate the incidence of Major Adverse Events (MAE) following TEVAR, at 30 days post-implantation of the Allay® Aortic Stent. Based on available data on similar devices, the objective performance goal is set to an expected proportion of 85% freedom from aortic growth requiring secondary reintervention or aortic rupture of the abdominal segment at 12 months.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Freedom from aortic growth requiring secondary reintervention, including open conversion, or aortic rupture in the region treated by the Allay® Aortic Stent at 12 months

An aortic growth requiring reintervention in the region treated with the Allay® Aortic Stent is defined as an increase in maximum aortic transverse diameter \>10mm at 12 months relative to the first post-operative CT scan done at discharge and not later than 30 days.

Time frame: 12 months

Secondary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants with Successful Technical Performance of the Allay® Aortic Stent Implantation

Technical success of the implantation of the Allay® Aortic Stent will be assessed at index procedure as the composite endpoint of the following: * Successful delivery to the intended implantation site and withdrawal of the delivery system; * Accurate deployment of the Allay® Aortic Stent defined as appropriate proximal landing in the stent graft and distal landing in descending aorta; * Absence of unexpected adverse effect on the stent graft, additional procedure related to the device, procedure, or withdrawal of the delivery system.

Time frame: At index procedure

Incidence of Major Adverse Events (MAE) within 30 Days After Allay® Aortic Stent Implantation

The safety endpoint will be assessed as the freedom from Major Adverse Events (MAE) at 30 days, defined as the composite endpoint of the following new-onset adverse events: * Myocardial infarction; * Renal failure requiring permanent dialysis; * Bowel ischemia requiring surgical intervention; * Disabling stroke; * Paraplegia or paraparesis; * Limb ischemia; * Death.

Time frame: 30 days

Freedom from all-cause mortality;

The percentage of patients alive from any cause post-discharge at follow-up intervals.

Time frame: Immediately at discharge and subsequent follow-up visits, at 30 days, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months
