Participant Flow

A total of 42 patients were consented and enrolled in the study at 7 investigational sites from 5 countries between 11 April 2014 and 30 June 2017. Treatment was attempted, and succesfully completed, in 41 patients, which constitute the analysed population. 40 patients were discharged from the hospital. During the 12-month follow-up period, 5 patients died and 5 were lost-to-follow-up, resulting in 30 patients being available at the 12-month time point.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Population: Out of the 42 patients enrolled in the study, treatment was attempted in 41 patients (See Technical Success) which constitute the analysed population The patency of the aortic side branches (visceral and renal arteries) covered by the multilayer stent will be assessed at the 12-month timepoints, compared to baseline

The patency of branches will be evaluated as follows: the number of branches patent will be evaluated on the total number of branches covered by the device (baseline data)
