Complex Aortic & Endovascular Surgery

Clinical Trials & Investigational Devices

Because FDA-approved fenestrated and branched stent-grafts remain limited, the Center provides access to next-generation devices through physician-sponsored investigational device exemption (IDE) studies.

Current studies

FDA G130266

Manufactured patient-specific and off-the-shelf fenestrated-branched stent-grafts for complex AAAs, TAAAs, and arch aneurysms. Led by Dr. Gustavo Oderich; more than 600 patients enrolled.

FDA G240006

Physician-modified endovascular grafts (PMEGs) for patients who don’t qualify for manufactured devices. Led by Dr. Steve Maximus.
