Abstract
This article provides a brief update on the current status of the treatment of thoracic aortic pathology using the Medtronic Talent device. Preoperative evaluation and selection criterion along with study design are described for the recently completed Phase II VALOR Trial (Evaluation of the Medtronic AVE Talent Thoracic Stent Graft System for the Treatment of Thoracic Aneurysms). In addition, the results of several recent series for the treatment of degenerative aneurysm and more complex aortic pathology such as transection, rupture and acute and chronic dissection are reviewed.
