Overview
The study design is a prospective, nonrandomized, international, multicenter study comprised of two parallel substudies. The total subject population is 175 subjects with 80 subjects assigned to the Short Neck Substudy and 95 subjects to the High Neck Angulation Substudy.
This clinical study will include up to fifty-six sites in the US. Each enrolled subject will undergo periodic follow-up evaluations involving physical exams and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scans at specific, protocol-defined intervals for a period of five years following the GORE® EXCLUDER® Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis implant. Each Substudy will be evaluated and reported independently from each other according to the Safety and Effectiveness Endpoints. No comparative analyses between these substudies are planned.
