Evaluation of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis in the Treatment of Thoracoabdominal and Pararenal Aortic Aneurysms

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Aortic aneurysm involving the visceral vessels requiring treatment defined as at least
one of the following:

- Fusiform aneurysm diameter ≥ 5 cm

- Saccular aneurysm (no diameter requirement)

- Rapid aneurysm growth (≥ 5 mm in one year)

2. Aortic aneurysm includes most or all or the entire abdominal aorta, including the
renal arteries with aneurysmal extension as far as 65 mm proximal to the celiac artery

3. Adequate access for TAMBE Device components (femoral, axillary, and / or brachial
arteries as required)

4. Age ≥ 19 years at the time of informed consent signature

5. Male or infertile female

6. Patient assessment favors an endovascular approach when compared to open surgical
repair, as deemed by the treating physician

7. Capable of complying with protocol requirements, including follow-up

8. An Informed Consent Form signed by Subject or legal representative

9. Sufficient distal landing zones in both iliac arteries to permit all EXCLUDER
components to land proximal to the internal iliac bifurcation on each side

10. Appropriate aortic anatomy to receive the TAMBE Device defined as all of the
following:

- For the TAMBE aortic component, proximal aortic landing zone diameters between
22-34 mm

- Proximal seal zone ≥ 20 mm in length

- Aortic neck angle ≤ 60°

- Distal landing zone (iliac arteries) 8-25 mm

- Distal seal zone in iliac arteries of at least 10 mm in length

- Renal artery landing zone diameters between 4-10 mm

- Celiac and superior mesenteric artery landing zone diameters between 5-12 mm

- ≥ 15 mm landing zone in each branch vessel

- Landing zones in the proximal and distal aorta and all branch vessels cannot be
aneurysmal, heavily calcified, or heavily thrombosed

- Patent left subclavian artery

Secondary Study Arm Only:

11. If aneurysm extends greater than 65 mm above celiac artery, proximal extension with a
CTAG Device is required. The aortic landing zone diameter treatment range with the
CTAG Device is 19.5-32 mm

12. The most proximal aspect of the aneurysm is at least 2.0 cm distal to the left
subclavian artery.

13. The most proximal aortic device seal zone will be within native aorta or a
previously-deployed TAG or CTAG Device

• Placement inside a Dacron graft or another device manufacturer's stent graft will
not be supported

14. At least one patent internal iliac artery, without planned occlusion or embolization
or the placement of a branched iliac device in order to achieve adequate distal seal
concomitant with the TAMBE procedure.

Exclusion Criteria:

The patient is / has:

1. Prior open, aortic surgery of the ascending aorta or aortic arch

2. Ruptured or leaking aortic aneurysm

3. Aneurysmal dilatation due to chronic aortic dissection

4. Infected aorta

5. Mycotic aneurysm

6. Life expectancy <2 years

7. Myocardial infarction or stroke within 1 year of treatment (staged or index procedure)

8. Systemic infection which may increase risk of endovascular graft infection

9. Degenerative connective tissue disease, e.g. Marfan's or Ehler-Danlos Syndrome

10. Participation in an investigational drug study (within 30 days of last administration)
or investigational medical device study (within 1 year of implant) from the time of
study screening

11. History of drug abuse, e.g. cocaine or amphetamine or alcohol, within 1 year of
treatment

12. Tortuous or stenotic iliac and / or femoral arteries and the inability to use a
conduit for vascular access

13. A branch vessel(s) that is dissected or has significant calcification, tortuosity,
thrombus formation that would interfere with device delivery or ability to exclude
from blood flow

14. Known sensitivities or allergies to the device materials

15. Previous instance of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia type 2 (HIT-2) or known
hypersensitivity to heparin

16. Patient has body habitus or other medical condition which prevents adequate
fluoroscopic and CT visualization of the aorta

17. Renal Insufficiency (creatinine value > 1.8 mg/dL, GFR < 30, or patient undergoing
dialysis)
