Brief summary

This multicenter, single-arm retrospective registry (chart review) is being conducted to confirm the clinical performance and safety of GORE-TEX® Vascular Grafts and GORE® PROPATEN® Vascular Graft throughout the device functional lifetime for each indication area.

Detailed description

Up to 9 sites in Europe will be required to enroll 353 patients that have had treatment with GORE-TEX® Vascular Grafts or GORE® PROPATEN® Vascular Grafts in the following indication areas: 144 patients in PAD Cohort * 72 Patients with any GORE-TEX® Vascular Graft * 72 Patients with GORE® PROPATEN® 65 patients in Aortic Aneurysm Cohort with GORE-TEX® Vascular Graft 144 patients in Dialysis Access Cohort * 72 patients implanted with any GORE-TEX® Vascular Graft * 72 Patients implanted with Patients with GORE® PROPATEN®

Inclusion criteria

General Inclusion Criteria 1. Patient is willing and able to provide written informed consent or consent is waived, according to national and local regulations. 2. Patient was at least 18 years of age at the time of implant. PAD Cohort Inclusion Criteria 1. Patient was treated for peripheral arterial disease or peripheral arterial aneurysm requiring bypass treated with GORE-TEX® Vascular Graft, GORE® INTERING® Vascular Graft, GORE-TEX® Stretch Vascular Graft or GORE® PROPATEN® Vascular Graft at least 5 years before site initiation. Aortic Aneurysm Cohort Inclusion Criteria 1\. Patient underwent simultaneous or staged aortic aneurysm repair (open surgical AAA or TAAA) involving a GORE-TEX® Vascular Graft, GORE® INTERING® Vascular Graft, GORE-TEX® Stretch Vascular Graft at least 5 years before site initiation. Research device could have been used to replace or bypass either a diseased visceral branch or the aorta itself. Dialysis Access Cohort Inclusion Criteria 1. Patient required the creation of a vascular access graft for hemodialysis secondary to a diagnosis of End-Stage Renal Disease using a GORE-TEX® Vascular Graft, GORE® INTERING® Vascular Graft, GORE-TEX® Stretch Vascular Graft or GORE® PROPATEN® Vascular Graft at least 2 years before site initiation with the intent to cannulate the registry device.
