Who can take part

Ages 18 to 80

You may be able to join if

  • Patients who are aged 18 to 80 years inclusive;
  • Patients diagnosed with aortic arch aneurysms or penetrating ulcers that require intervention, and for whom the proximal end of the stent needs to be...
  • Anatomical criteria, including:
  • Ascending aorta length is greater than or equal to 50 mm (distance from aortic sinus to anterior edge of innominate artery);
  • The diameter range of the anchoring area at the proximal end of the main body is between 25-45 mm and the length is greater than or equal to 30 mm;

You likely can't join if

  • Patients either with ruptured or infected aneurysms;
  • Patients with aortic dissection;
  • Patients with general or local infections that may increase the risk of endovascular graft infection;
  • Patients with severe stenosis, calcification, or mural thrombus in the stent anchoring area, which is likely to impede stent-graft adherence or...
  • Previous endovascular intervention involving the aortic arch;
  • Underwent open or endovascular surgery for abdominal aorta within the past 3 months;

Who can join
  • Patients who are aged 18 to 80 years inclusive;
  • Patients diagnosed with aortic arch aneurysms or penetrating ulcers that require intervention, and for whom the proximal end of the stent needs to be anchored in the Z0 zone;
  • Anatomical criteria, including:
  • Ascending aorta length is greater than or equal to 50 mm (distance from aortic sinus to anterior edge of innominate artery);
  • The diameter range of the anchoring area at the proximal end of the main body is between 25-45 mm and the length is greater than or equal to 30 mm;
  • The diameter of the anchored area of supra-arch branch vessels (innominate artery, left common carotid artery, left subclavian artery) is between 5-18 mm, distal anchorage length is greater than or equal to 15 mm;
  • Distance between the anterior edge of the innominate artery to the posterior edge of the left subclavian artery is less than or equal to 80 mm;
  • Have a suitable iliac, femoral, and superior arch arterial access;
  • At least two researchers should assess that the subject is a high-risk patient for surgical treatment or has significant contraindications to surgery. It is recommended to refer to the following criteria: a score of ≥6...
  • Patients who understand the purpose of the study, volunteer to participate and sign the informed consent form, and are willing to complete follow-up visits as required by the protocol.
What rules you out
  • Patients either with ruptured or infected aneurysms;
  • Patients with aortic dissection;
  • Patients with general or local infections that may increase the risk of endovascular graft infection;
  • Patients with severe stenosis, calcification, or mural thrombus in the stent anchoring area, which is likely to impede stent-graft adherence or affect stent patency;
  • Previous endovascular intervention involving the aortic arch;
  • Underwent open or endovascular surgery for abdominal aorta within the past 3 months;
  • Patients with a history of stroke within the past 3 months (excluding TIA);
  • Patients with aneurysms involving the distal descending aorta and requiring reconstruction of important visceral branch vessels within the abdomen;
  • Patients with a history of myocardial infarction within the past 3 months;
  • Patients with congestive heart failure - NYHA Class IV;
  • Patients allergic to contrast agents, stent and delivery system materials (such as nitinol, polyester, PTFE, nylon polymer materials);
  • Patients with contraindications to anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs;
  • Patients unable to tolerate general anesthesia;
  • Patients with abnormal liver and kidney function before surgery (ALT or AST more than 5 times the upper limit of normal; serum creatinine (Cr) \>150umol/L);
  • Patients with connective tissue diseases, such as Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or Behcet's disease;
  • Patients with arteritis;
  • Patients with a life expectancy of less than 1 year;
  • Women who are planning to conceive, pregnant or breastfeeding;
  • Patients deemed by the investigator as unsuitable for endovascular treatment;
  • Patients who have participated in other clinical studies and have not withdrawn or been excluded within the 3 months prior to the screening period of this study.
