25 Years of TEVAR: GORE® TAG® Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with ACTIVE CONTROL System
Building on 25 years of TEVAR experience we’ve combined a proven stent graft with controlled, staged deployment, uniquely designed for trusted conformability and anatomical adaptability.
We create solutions engineered to perform as promised
Gore has a long history with TEVAR. We look back on 25 years and think of all the milestones. There's been an enduring benefit to patients over a long period of time.
They were the first ones to come out with a TEVAR device, and a branch arch device, and a dissection indication. They have a whole series of firsts for us and our patients.
From the first FDA approved thoracic device to future development, we are TEVAR
Gore really helped pioneer these devices and advance the technology and make it applicable to everyday treatment of these patients.
The first time I used the [GORE® TAG® Thoracic Endoprosthesis] I was a resident. Fast forward 20 years, what we are doing now, we couldn't even think about it.
