The device behind the data

GORE® TAG® Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with ACTIVE CONTROL System

Designed for the demands of TEVAR

The TAG® Conformable Device combines a trusted stent graft with a unique delivery system designed for the complex, angulated anatomy of the thoracic aorta.

The difference is control

The GORE® ACTIVE CONTROL System provides an intermediate stage before full deployment—at 50% diameter—giving you the confidence of control.

Visualize, correct for parallax, reposition and refine angulation, all in real time.

The delivery system provides two opportunities to adjust angulation as needed.

Angulation adjustment at full deployment.

The difference is precision 

Unique angulation control is available at both intermediate and full deployment, empowering you with the precision to adjust for 360° wall apposition and seal along inner curve of the aorta.

The difference is conformability

Enhanced control and exceptional conformability combine to help minimize the risk of adverse events requiring reintervention.

Setting a standard of conformability

The TAG® Conformable Device exhibited the lowest spring back in bench-top analysis.

Benchtop evaluations are intended to demonstrate relative physical characteristics and may not correlate to clinical results. All devices were tested under equivalent situations. Complete information and data are on file.

Adapting to aortic anatomy

Our device adapts to the aorta by design, rather than the aorta adapting to the device. See the impact in real patient anatomy over 5 years of follow-up:

The difference is meaningful

The TAG® Conformable Device harnesses more than 25 years of TEVAR experience and evidence. 

That’s just one number worth counting on:

INDICATIONS FOR USE IN THE U.S.: The GORE® TAG® Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft is intended for endovascular repair of all lesions of the descending thoracic aorta, including: isolated lesions in patients who have appropriate anatomy, including: adequate iliac/femoral access, aortic inner diameter in the range of 16-42 mm, ≥ 20 mm non-aneurysmal aorta proximal and distal to the lesion; Type B dissections in patients who have appropriate anatomy, including: adequate iliac/femoral access, ≥ 20 mm landing zone proximal to the primary entry tear; proximal extent of the landing zone must not be dissected, diameter at proximal extent of proximal landing zone in the range of 16-42 mm. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Patients with known sensitivities or allergies to the device materials; patients who have a condition that threatens to infect the graft.
