Conditions
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)
Each year thousands of lives are threatened by deadly aortic aneurysms. We offer a variety of treatment options from the traditional grafts for open surgery to the minimally invasive, catheter-based devices that seal off and reline the artery walls.
Atrial Septal Defects (ASD)
An atrial septal defect (ASD) is an abnormal hole (defect) in the wall (septum) between the heart’s upper chambers (atria).
Biliary Disease
Treating patients with malignant biliary strictures requires the use of a strong, yet flexible endoprosthesis that can be placed both percutaneously and endoscopically in the biliary tract.
Carotid Artery Stenosis
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) as a viable therapy to treat carotid disease and stroke prevention is growing. One of the limitations of carotid stenting is the risk of liberating embolic particles during the procedure that could cause a stroke or compromise cognitive function.
Colon Disease
GORE® SEAMGUARD® Bioabsorbable Staple Line Reinforcement is indicated for use in surgical procedures involving soft tissue transection or resection with staple line reinforcement. This includes colon, colorectal, and small bowel procedures.
Dialysis
Preserving the vascular access site demands regular surgical revision because each case presents a unique challenge. That's why our comprehensive product line covers full graft, jump graft, suture, and patch revision with a variety of configurations.
Heart Defect
Open heart surgery is no longer the only available option to correct atrial septal defects in young children and in patients with complicating health factors. Today's health care providers are seeking safe and effective non- surgical options to close inter-atrial defects.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
Maintaining flow through the lower limb is one of the greatest challenges in the treatment of peripheral vascular disease. Our vascular family is made up of grafts for all stages of disease progression.
Portal Hypertension and Liver Disease
For patients with portal hypertension, the GORE® VIATORR® Endoprosthesis with Controlled Expansion maintains significantly increased patency compared to bare metal stent alternatives.
Venous Disease
Inferior vena cava syndrome, or IVCS, refers to a sequence of signs and symptoms related to obstruction or compression of the inferior vena cava (IVC), a large vein that carries blood from the lower and middle part of the body back to the heart. Iliofemoral venous obstruction is a partial or complete blockage of the iliac and femoral veins (In the pelvis and thigh).
Hernia
A hernia is the protrusion of an organ or part of an organ through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it. A hernia occurs when there is a weakness or tear in your abdominal wall as a result of aging, injury, a previous surgical incision, or a condition present at birth.
Weight Loss Surgery
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), over 68% of the U.S. population is overweight or obese. Many are turning to bariatric surgery as a weight-loss method.
