Brief summary

The purpose of this registry is to collect safety and performance data on all commercially available Terumo Aortic knitted and woven grafts, and cardiovascular patches in standard clinical practice. Data will be collected both retrospectively and prospectively.

Interventions

DEVICEGelsoft Plus Vascular Graft

Gelatin coated, knitted vascular prosthesis implanted to act as a conduit for channeling blood during repair of damaged or diseased vessels.

DEVICEVascular Bypass Graft

Gelatin coated, knitted vascular prosthesis implanted to act as an extra-anatomical bypass for channeling blood during repair of damaged or diseased vessels.

DEVICECardiovascular Patch

Cardiovascular knitted polyester patches are frequently used to treat the carotid or femoral arteries to prevent stroke and repair damage to vessels.

DEVICEGelweave Vascular Graft

The Gelweave woven polyester vascular graft allows replacement of large sections of arteries and, following anastomosis to the native blood vessel, provides a stable conduit for blood flow.

DEVICEGelweave Valsalva Vascular Graft

This woven polyester graft is designed to match the aortic root anatomy and is implanted to repair or replace a portion of the aorta in case of an aneurysm, dissection or coarctation at the level of the thoracic aorta.
