Abstract

The Gore TAG thoracic branch endoprosthesis (TBE) is the first Food and Drug Administration–approved device for zone 2 thoracic endovascular aortic repair, allowing for graft placement proximal to the left subclavian artery origin and maintaining vessel patency through a side branch. We describe our experience with the Gore TBE device in 20 patients for acute indications, including blunt thoracic aortic injuries, complicated dissections, and ruptured aneurysms. Technical success, with exclusion of pathology and left subclavian patency, was 100% without major complications within 30 days. Our early Gore TBE device experience demonstrates safe use in acute aortic pathology without an increased risk of complications.
