The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical outcomes and radiation of the use of off-the-shelf and custom-made devices (CMDs) for the endovascular repair of juxtarenal, suprarenal, thoracoabdominal and arch aortic aneurysms in patients having appropriate anatomy. The study consists of three cohorts. The first 2 cohorts are the continuation of the current IDE study. The first cohort is aimed to assess the use of custom-made devices (CMDs) for the endovascular repair of juxtarenal, suprarenal and type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms in standard and high-risk patients having appropriate anatomy (Fenestrated-CMD cohort). The second cohort (Type I-III thoracoabdominal cohort) includes standard and high-risk patients with type I- III thoracoabdominal aneurysms that require the use of branched/fenestrated CMDs, or, in selected cases, the Zenith Thoracoabdominal Branch (Zenith® t-Branch™) device. Finally, the third cohort (the Arch cohort) will include 25 high-risk patients with aortic arch aneurysms treated by patient-specific stent-grafts with one to three inner branches or a scallop
This study is a prospective, single center, non-randomized, triple-cohort study. For the Fenestrated-CMD cohort a total of 350 patients will be enrolled. For the type I-III thoracoabdominal cohort, a total of 250 patients will be enrolled. For the Arch cohort, 25 patients will be enrolled. CMDs will be used primarily. Off-the-shelf devices will be used in urgent cases and when the waiting period for design and manufacturing of a CMD may not be considered acceptable. Staged endovascular repair will be used for type I, II and III TAAAs and for concurrent arch and TAAAs, unless the condition of the patient requires a single stage endovascular repair. A separate subgroup analysis of patients undergoing procedures with off-the-shelf devices will be performed.

| Fenestrated CMD | Device | The CMD that will be used in this IDE is structurally the same as the commercially available Zenith Fenestrated AAA Endovascular Graft. In general, the Zenith® Fenestrated AAA Endovascular Graft is a modular system constructed of full- thickness woven polyester fabric sewn to self-expanding stainless steel z-stents with braided polyester and monofilament polypropylene sutures. In this study, fenestrated grafts with up to 4 fenestrations may be used. Device implantation will be performed using standardized endovascular techniques used in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. |

| Evaluate safety endovascular treatment of juxtarenal, suprarenal, thoracoabdominal and arch aortic aneurysms using fenestrated/branched investigational devices. | Primary safety will be defined as the proportion of subjects who experience a major adverse event (MAE) at 30-days or during hospitalization if this exceeds 30 days. | 30 days |
| Evaluate effectiveness endovascular treatment of juxtarenal, suprarenal, thoracoabdominal and arch aortic aneurysms using fenestrated/branched investigational devices. | For primary effectiveness endpoint, treatment success will be analyzed as the proportion of patients to achieve treatment success at 12-months. | 12-months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Rate of Grafts deployed at intended site with successful and patent stenting of target vessels (technical success) | Technical success is defined as successful access of the aneurysm site and deployment of endovascular graft in the intended location. The endovascular graft and all vessels targeted with fenestrations must be patent at the time of deployment completion as evidenced by intraoperative angiography. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of complications not considered as major (Secondary safety endpoints) | Other Major adverse events such as paraplegia and paraparesis, stroke and specific mortality. | 30 days |

General Inclusion Criteria
A patient is deemed suitable for inclusion in the study if the patient has at least one of the following:
General Exclusion Criteria
A patient must be excluded from the clinical investigation if any of the following are true:
Medical Exclusion Criteria
Patients must be excluded from the study if any of the following conditions are true:
Anatomical Exclusion Criteria
Patient must be excluded from the study if any of the following are true:
Inadequate femoral or iliac access compatible with the requirements of the required delivery system.
Inability to perform a temporary or permanent open surgical or endovascular iliac conduit for patients with inadequate femoral/iliac access.
Absence of a landing aortic segment in the distal thoracic aorta above the diaphragmatic hiatus with:
Visceral anatomy not compatible with the investigational device due to excessive occlusive disease or small size not amenable to stent graft placement.
Unsuitable distal iliac arterial fixation site and anatomy:
For patients in the type I-III TAAA cohort, the intended use criteria are the same for both the fenestrated/branched CMD vs the off-the-shelf device. The CMD will preferably be used, unless an urgent repair is indicated or the waiting period for design or manufacturing of the CMD is considered unacceptable.
Additional anatomical inclusion criteria for aortic arch devices
Proximal aortic fixation zone:
Distal aortic fixation zone:
Supra-aortic trunk (brachiocephalic) vessels
i. Innominate artery
1. Native vessel or surgical graft
2. Diameter: 8-22mm
3. Length of sealing zone ≥10mm
4. Acceptable tortuosity
ii. Left (or right) common carotid artery
iii. Left (or right) subclavian artery
4. In the setting of an aortic dissection, the following criteria must exist:
Access into the true lumen from the groin and at least one supra-aortic trunk vessel
A sealing zone in the target aorta (or surgical graft) that is proximal to the primary dissection, such that a stent-graft would be anticipated to seal off the dissection lumen
A sealing zone in the target supra-aortic trunk vessels that is distal to the dissection, anticipated to seal off the dissection lumen, or surgically created
A true lumen size large enough to deploy the device and still gain access into the target branches
5. In the setting of more distal disease, the repair may be coupled with a thoracoabdominal branched device, infrarenal device, and/or internal iliac branch device.
6. Iliac anatomy must allow for the delivery of the arch branch device, which is loaded within a 20F-24F sheath. Conduits to the iliac vessels or aorta may be used if deemed necessary.

| Type I - III TAAA | Device | Device implantation will be performed using standardized endovascular techniques used in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Devices will be implanted in patients with type I-III thoracic abdominal aneurysms. The branches in this study will be constructed as internal/external cuffs, axially oriented and either caudally or cranially directed, as necessary. The branch position will be determined by the anatomic location of the target vessels using a consistent craniocaudal and circumferential cuff position. |
|
|
| Arch cohort | Device | Arch branched devices may be designed using one of two configurations: (1) Zone 0 device with two inner antegrade branches for the innominate artery and the left common carotid artery with or without a retrograde left subclavian artery branch and (2) Zone 1-2 device with a single retrograde subclavian artery branch with double or triple wide scallop for the left common carotid artery. These devices are designed for a of proximal landing/fixation zone of at least 20 mm of healthy aortic segment or a previous graft. |
