What is the Purpose of this Study?
The purpose of this registry study is to collect data over time about the use and continuing safety of a medical device called the GORE TAG Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with Active Control System and to observe how the device functions when treating relevant medical conditions that occur in the aorta (a large blood vessel that runs inside the chest and abdomen). Stent grafts consist of a plastic material which is surrounded on the outside by a metal frame and acts like a hose where blood can flow through it, but it also seals off diseased areas from blood flow.
This is a post-market registry because it is a study that occurs after a medical device has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The registry will evaluate how the GORE TAG Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with Active Control System is used in real-world medical care. There are no special procedures or extra visits needed for the registry that would be outside of what the participant’s doctor would normally do to treat their medical condition.

Inclusion Criteria:
- 1. Patient or legally authorized representative (LAR) provides written authorization and/or consent per institution and geographical requirements.
- 2. Patient has been or is intended to be treated with an eligible registry device.\*
- 3. Patient is age ≥ 18 years at time of informed consent signature.
- * The intent to treat a patient with a Gore product must be made prior to soliciting for possible registry participation. If pre-procedure consent is not feasible due to emergent situation, consent prior to the time of discharge for the index procedure is acceptable.
Exclusion Criteria:
- 1. Patient who is, at the time of consent, unlikely to be available for standard of care (SOC) follow-up visits as defined by the site's guidelines and procedures.
- 3. Patient is currently enrolled in or plans to enroll in any concurrent investigational drug and/or investigational device study\* within 12 months of Together Registry enrollment. Subjects cannot be enrolled in another Together Registry module protocol.
- * The term "study" does not apply to other observational registries or quality improvement projects. Collection of Registry Device performance from interventional studies may be permissible provided device application is not investigational and there are no novel requirements that alter follow-up conduct (i.e., protocol-mandated interventions).
