The Valiant™ thoracic stent graft with the Captivia™ delivery system is indicated for the endovascular repair of all lesions of the descending thoracic aorta (DTA) in patients having appropriate anatomy, including:
The Valiant™ thoracic stent graft with the Captivia™ delivery system is contraindicated in:
The long-term safety and effectiveness of the Valiant™ thoracic stent graft with the Captivia™ delivery system has not been established. All patients should be advised that endovascular treatment requires lifelong, regular follow-up to assess the integrity and performance of the implanted endovascular stent graft. Patients with specific clinical findings (for example, enlarging aneurysm (> 5 mm), endoleaks, migration, inadequate seal zone, or continued flow into the false lumen in the case of a dissection) should receive enhanced follow-up. Specific follow-up guidelines are described in the instructions for use. The Valiant™ thoracic stent graft with the Captivia™ delivery system is not recommended in patients who cannot undergo, or who will not be compliant with, the necessary preoperative and post-operative imaging and implantation procedures as described in the instructions for use. Strict adherence to the Valiant™ thoracic stent graft sizing guidelines as described in the instructions for use is expected when selecting the device size. Sizing outside of this range can potentially result in endoleak, fracture, migration, infolding, or graft wear. As cautioned in the instructions for use, a balloon should never be used when treating a dissection. The safety and effectiveness of the Valiant™ thoracic stent graft with the Captivia™ delivery system has not been evaluated in some patient populations. Refer to the product instructions for use for details.
Non-clinical testing has demonstrated that the Valiant™ thoracic stent graft is MR Conditional. It can be scanned safely in both 1.5T and 3.0T MR systems under specific conditions as described in the product instructions for use. For additional information regarding MRI, refer to the product instructions for use.
