Study population: The registry population consists of patients presenting with complex aortic pathologies amenable to endovascular aortic repair that requires the incorporation of bridging stents to maintain visceral artery perfusion. Patients are eligible to participate in the registry if at least one BXB device is intended to be incorporated (first proximal, connected with aortic main body) to maintain visceral artery perfusion. There are no selection criteria (i.e., inclusion or exclusion criteria) based on main aortic body device used, and to allow better RWD representation of the patient population treated with different aortic component, a cap per main aortic body device has been set.
Who may be able to join
- Informed Consent Form (ICF) is signed by Subject.
- Age ≥ 18 years at time of informed consent signature.
- Patient presents with thoracoabdominal, pararenal, juxtarenal, or short-neck infrarenal aortic pathology suitable for endovascular repair.
- Patient requires the incorporation of ≥ 1 visceral artery and is suitable for use of at least 1 GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis (BXB) as a bridging stent (Note: Up to six (6) visceral arteries may be incorporated).

Who cannot join
- Patient has a prior visceral artery stenting not associated with registry procedure.
- Patient treated for acute or sub-acute dissection, <90 days from onset of symptoms
- Patient is intended to be treated with a parallel grafting (e.g., chimney, periscope, sandwich) or octopus technique.
- Known hypersensitivity to heparin or a previous incident of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) type II.

Official title: The ENVISION Registry: REal-World Data CollectioN of GORE deVIceS Used In the endOvascular treatmeNt of Aortic Aneurysms Which Incorporate Visceral Arteries.

Read the detailed description
Patients are eligible to participate in the registry if at least one BXB device is intended to be incorporated (first proximal, connected with aortic main body) to maintain visceral artery perfusion. There are no selection criteria (i.e., inclusion or exclusion criteria) based on main aortic body device used, and to allow better RWD representation of the patient population treated with different aortic component, a cap per main aortic body device has been set

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| FEVAR | Patients who are treated with aortic endografts designed exclusively with fenestrations for incorporation of the visceral arteries with at least one BXB device implanted | |
| BEVAR | Patients who are treated with aortic endografts designed exclusively with directional branches for incorporation of the visceral arteries with at least one BXB device implanted | |
| OTHER | Patients who are treated with other endovascular techniques who required incorporation of BXB as bridging stent (i.e. PMEGs). |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Freedom from Target Vessel Instability
Freedom from any death or rupture related to side branch complication (e.g., endoleaks, rupture); any branch occlusion; or any secondary intervention indicated to treat a branch-related complication, including endoleaks, disconnection, kink, stenosis, occlusion, or rupture
Measured: through 1 year Follow-up
Secondary outcomes (12)
Target Vessel Technical Success
Successful catheterization and stent placement in all intended target vessels.
Measured: At procedure
Procedural Technical Success
All of the qualifying criteria are met (in the absence of surgical conversion or mortality, type I or type III endoleak, branch occlusion, or graft limb obstruction):
- Successful access to the arterial system using remote arterial exposure, percutaneous technique, or open surgical conduits at index procedure.
- Successful delivery and deployment of the aortic stent graft and all modular stent graft components at index procedure
- Successful side branch catheterization and placement of bridging stents with restoration and maintenance of flow in all intended target vessels at final completion angiography
- Absence of type I or type III endoleaks at final completion angiography that extends beyond 30 days by confirmatory imaging
- Patency of all aortic modular stent graft components and intended side branch components at final completion angiography.
Measured: at procedure
Clinical Success
Requires all of the following to be met:
- Procedural Technical success
- Absence of death from the initial procedure, secondary intervention, or aorta-related cause
- Absence of persistent type I or type III endoleaks
- Absence of aneurysm sac expansion > 5mm
- Absence of device migration > 10mm
- Absence of failure due to device integrity issues
- Absence of aneurysm rupture
- Absence of conversion to open surgical repair
- Absence of permanent paraplegia
- Note: defined as spinal cord deficit with inability to walk and not resolving at a future assessment
- Absence of disabling stroke
- Note: defined as stroke with one of the following: complete hemianopia, severe aphasia, visual or sensory extinction, or any weakness limiting sustained effort against gravity
- Absence of new-onset dialysis following the initial operation
Measured: through 5-year follow-up
Major Adverse Events
Any of the following events:
- All-cause mortality
- Myocardial infarction (MI): MI resulting in severe hemodynamic dysfunction necessitating resuscitation, cardiac arrest, or fatal outcome
- Respiratory failure requiring prolonged (> 24 hours from anticipated) mechanical ventilation or reintubation
- Renal function decline characterized by one or more of the following:
- >50% reduction in baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR); or,
- New-onset dialysis
- Bowel ischemia requiring surgical resection or not resolving with medical therapy
- Permanent paraplegia
- Major stroke.
- Note: any stroke that is disabling or fatal
Measured: through 5-year follow-up
Freedom from Aneurysm-Related Mortality
Freedom from all the following:
- Any death that occurs within the first 30 days
- any death that results from aneurysm rupture, aorta-related complications such as infection, occlusion, dissection, hematoma, or
- any death that results from a complication of a secondary intervention
Measured: through 5-year follow-up
Freedom from Target Vessel Instability through 5-year follow-up
Freedom from any death or rupture related to side branch complication (e.g., endoleaks, rupture); any branch occlusion; or any secondary intervention indicated to treat a branch-related complication, including endoleaks, disconnection, kink, stenosis, occlusion, or rupture
Measured: through 5-year follow-up
Primary Patency
Uninterrupted patency with no occlusion or additional procedures performed intended to maintain patency of the stent or native target vessel.
Note: Interventions intended to treat endoleaks or stent disconnection do not count as loss of primary patency.
Measured: through 5-year follow-up
Freedom from Reintervention
Any repeated vascular or nonvascular procedure on the aortic endovascular stent graft, its branches, or any other stent graft placed in combination with these devices during the index procedure.
Measured: through 5-year follow-up
Survival
Freedom from all-cause mortality
Measured: through 5-year follow-up
Aneurysm sac changes
Aneurysm Enlargement: An increase in maximum aorta diameter of > 5mm in the region encompassed by the initial aneurysm as compared to baseline.
Aneurysm Shrinkage: A decrease in aorta diameter of > 5-mm in the region encompassed by the initial aneurysm as compared to baseline.
Stable Aneurysm: A ≤ 5 millimeter (mm) change in aorta diameter in the region encompassed by the initial aneurysm as compared to baseline.
Measured: through 5-year follow-up
Primary Assisted Patency
Number of patients with endovascular intervention performed to maintain patency in the presence of a stenosis before occlusion
Measured: through 5-year follow-up
Secondary Patency
Number of patients with endovascular restoration of patency after occlusion of the side branch, stent, or stent graft has already occurred.
Measured: through 5-year follow-up
