Conditions & Procedures

Each year thousands of lives are threatened by deadly aortic aneurysms. Although an aneurysm can occur in any artery of the body, it is most common in the abdominal aorta. Gore offers catheter-based treatment options for minimally-invasive endovascular aneurysm repair.

In approximately 25 percent of patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), the aneurysm extends into at least one of the common iliac arteries.¹ These are referred to as aortoiliac aneurysms.

An atrial septal defect (ASD) is an abnormal hole (defect) in the wall (septum) between the heart's upper chambers (atria).

Preserving the vascular access site demands regular surgical revision because each case presents a unique challenge. That's why our comprehensive product line covers full graft, jump graft, suture, and patch revision with a variety of configurations.

A hernia is the protrusion of an organ or part of an organ through the wall of the cavity that normally contains it. A hernia occurs when there is a weakness or tear in your abdominal wall as a result of aging, injury, a previous surgical incision, or a condition present at birth.

An iASD is a defect created when a catheter is inserted across the atrial septum.

In approximately one out of every four individuals, the hole in the heart will remain open after birth. This is called a patent foramen ovale, or PFO. In most people, a PFO creates no symptoms and requires no treatment. However, in a small minority, a PFO may permit blood clots to pass from the right side of the heart to the left side, possibly leading to a stroke.

Maintaining flow through the lower limb is one of the greatest challenges in the treatment of peripheral vascular disease. Our vascular family is made up of grafts for all stages of disease progression.

For patients with portal hypertension, the GORE^® VIATORR^® TIPS Endoprosthesis maintains significantly increased patency compared to bare metal stent alternatives.

There are many different diseases or injuries of the thoracic aorta. The most common categories are thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) which is a ballooning of the aorta, traumatic aortic transection which is a tear in the aorta wall, and aortic dissection where a small tear occurs in the inner layer of the aortic wall.
