Summary

This trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of physician-modified endovascular grafts for endovascular repair of complex aortic pathology in high-risk patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 21 with complex aortic problems like certain aneurysms or dissections, who are at high risk from traditional surgery. They should have specific measurements in their non-aneurysmal aorta and be able to undergo endovascular repair. Pregnant women, those with allergies to device materials, connective tissue disorders, or conditions preventing informed consent are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of custom-tailored grafts (PMEGs) used in minimally invasive procedures for repairing complex aortic pathologies. Participants will be grouped based on their specific aortic condition: abdominal aneurysm, thoracoabdominal aneurysm, or dissection.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications related to the procedure such as infection risks at the graft site, allergic reactions to materials in the grafts or contrast media used during imaging if not managed properly, and issues arising from improper placement of the graft.
