Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness performance of the Zenith® Dissection Endovascular System in the treatment of aortic dissections involving the descending thoracic aorta.

Detailed Description

The Zenith® Thoracic Dissection Study is a clinical trial to study the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith® Dissection Endovascular System in the treatment of dissections (length-wise tear) of the descending thoracic aorta. The Zenith® Dissection Endovascular System is comprised of the Zenith TX2® TAA Endovascular Graft and the Zenith® Dissection Endovascular Stent. Instead of making a large incision in the chest, the physician makes a small incision near each hip to insert, and guides the graft and the dissection stent into place in the aorta.
