Noncylindrical Neck Study • Research question: Noncylindrical aortic neck will be associated with more endoleak, use of aortic cuffs, reintervention • Noncylindrical neck was defined as the proximal aortic LZ diameter had changed ≥ 2 mm over the proximal landing zone, indicating a tapered, conical, or hourglass morphology • Analytic cohort consisted of 1765 patient with cylindrical necks and 1312 patients with noncylindrical necks.

Noncylindrical Neck Results
Multivariate Predictors of Reintervention
Noncylindrical Neck Summary • 14. 7% of noncylindrical patients and 11. 2% cylindrical patients were outside of the EXCLUDER IFU for use regarding the anatomic inclusion criteria (P =. 004). • Neck shape morphology is a predictor of treated endoleak (4. 1% vs. 2. 7%, P= 0. 04) and device-related intervention (1. 5 x; P =. 03). • AAA sac diameter and female gender are the strongest risk predictors of re-interventions for treatment of endoleak.
Narrow Aortic Body Study • 1 -year outcomes determining the effect of a narrow AOB (defined as <16 mm) , specifically whether narrow AOBs are associated with an increased rate of type II endoleaks and limb occlusions. • Narrow AOB (NB) patients mean aortic neck diameter = 12. 4 mm and Standard AOB (SB) patients mean aortic neck diameter = 25. 3 mm • NB patients had significantly smaller proximal neck diameters and were more often female with a more comorbidities

Narrow Aortic Body Results
Narrow Aortic Body Summary • Narrow aortic bifurcation leads to increased lumbar collaterals • Anecdotally, increased rate of type 2 EL, suggests higher type 2 EL in NB patients • NB group were more often female and had a more severe comorbidity burden • 30 -day mortality and safety SAEs were similar • No statistical difference in endoleaks requiring reintervention and occlusive/thrombotic SAEs • Treatment with the EXCLUDER device in patients with narrow AOB with 1 -year outcomes comparable to those of patients with standard AOBs
Acute and Chronic Type B Aortic Dissection (TBAD) Study Images courtesy of Prof Santi Trimarchi, Milan Italy
Acute and Chronic Type B Aortic Dissection (TBAD) Study Purpose was to examine real world results of TBAD patients treated with TEVAR and to determine factors predictive of adverse outcomes • N=264, chronic = 94 and acute = 170 • 100% procedural success • Median Length of Stay – 8 days • 9% of patients experienced at least one early postoperative complication at initial hospitalization for index TEVAR
Acute and Chronic Type B Aortic Dissection (TBAD) Results
Acute and Chronic Type B Aortic Dissection (TBAD) Results
Acute and Chronic Type B Aortic Dissection (TBAD) Summary • TEVAR can be performed with low and equivalent perioperative complication rates for acute and chronic Type B dissection. • Postoperative aortic events are not uncommon, but seem to occur less frequently than reported in other series. • Retrograde dissection is rare, but associated with death in both the short and long term. • A proximal landing zone >40 mm has a higher risk for RTAD (18% vs 2%). • Coverage of the left subclavian artery is associated with increased rates of aortic events, but revascularization is associated with even higher rates. • Overall, patients with acute uncomplicated dissections appear to behave as a distinct entity after TEVAR, with significantly improved overall survival when compared to other categories of Type B dissections that are treated with TEVAR.

Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis Study Purpose: Report midterm results of the IDE trial with both pivotal phase and continued access cohorts and to comparatively assess the clinical trial outcomes with real world outcomes from GREAT. US IDE pivotal (n=64), US IDE continued access (35), and GREAT (n=99) of which 28 were treated in US and 64 OUS. GREAT cohort was significantly smaller stature, lower weight, older, and had more females. GREAT cohort had 13 patients and US IDE had 4 patients with bilateral IBE treatment
