Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Device Success30 daysTechnical success (successful access, deployment, and patency of the Zenith® TX2® Low Profile Endovascular Graft), and freedom from the following: device collapse, type I or type III endoleaks requiring reintervention, and conversion to open surgical repair.
All-cause Mortality30 days
Aortic Injury-related Mortality30 daysAny death determined by the independent clinical events committee to be causally related to the initial implant procedure, secondary intervention, or rupture of the transected aorta.

Device Success

Technical success (successful access, deployment, and patency of the Zenith® TX2® Low Profile Endovascular Graft), and freedom from the following: device collapse, type I or type III endoleaks requiring reintervention, and conversion to open surgical repair.

Time frame: 30 days

Population: One patient had device compression (counted as a failure conservatively although the compression was not consistent with collapse of the proximal end of the device) and one patient had a site-reported Type I endoleak requiring secondary intervention.
