WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS The warnings and precautions can be found in the GORE EXCLUDER Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis labeling. ### V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The GORE EXCLUDER Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis (EXCC Device) provides endovascular treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The EXCC Device design consists of incorporating modifications to the current GORE EXCLUDER Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg components, Aortic Extender components, and their associated delivery systems. The EXCC Device consists of two modular components, which are the Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Component (EXCC Trunk-Ipsi) and the Aortic Extender Component (EXCC AE) as shown in Figure 1. The EXCC Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Component is designed to be used with GORE EXCLUDER Contralateral Leg Components and Iliac Extender Components, which provide additional extension and seal into the common iliac arteries (Figure 2). #### Stent-graft The GORE® EXCLUDER® Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis is a multi-component system consisting of a Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Endoprosthesis (Figure 1 and Figure 2), a Contralateral Leg Endoprosthesis (Figure 2), an Aortic Extender Endoprosthesis for proximal extension (Figure 1), and an Iliac Extender Endoprosthesis for distal extension. The graft material for each component is expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) and fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) that is supported by nitinol (nickel titanium alloy) wire along its external surface. Nitinol anchors and an ePTFE / FEP sealing cuff are located at the leading (proximal) end of the trunk and a sealing cuff is located at the leading (proximal) end of the Aortic Extender. All components have gold radiopaque markers for visualization. An ePTFE / FEP sleeve is used to constrain the endoprostheses on the delivery catheter (Figure 3).

GORE EXCLUDER Conformable AAA Trunk-Ipsilateral Leg Endoprosthesis with GORE EXCLUDER Contralateral Leg Endoprosthesis within Contralateral Gate** ### Delivery System The EXCC Trunk-Ipsilateral delivery system is similar to the GORE EXCLUDER AAA Endoprosthesis featuring C3 Delivery System in that it has a corresponding white handle with nested knobs for device deployment (**Figure 3**). The sewn sleeve incorporates the same sewn sleeve / deployment line mechanism as the GORE C3 Delivery System. The EXCC Trunk-Ipsilateral delivery system includes the constraining/unconstraining mechanism for device repositioning, which is part of the GORE C3 Delivery System. In addition, the EXCC Trunk-Ipsi handle has an Angulation Control Knob to aid in angulating the device on catheter, which is an optional device feature (**Figure 3**). The PMA P200030 Supplement 14: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 3 {3} catheter working length is 69 cm and the profiles are 15 Fr, 16 Fr and 18 Fr. Refer to the IFU for additional information. Unique features to the EXCC delivery system are: - Catheter angulation by rotating a gray knob on the delivery catheter handle for device positioning and deployment accuracy (optional feature) - Secondary sleeve over the trunk body which constrains it to ~70% of its full diameter for improved device repositioning - Longer and flexible leading tip to enhance trackability and deliverability in tortuous anatomy ![img-2.jpeg](img-2.jpeg) Figure 3.

SUMMARY OF PRIMARY CLINICAL STUDY The applicant performed a clinical study (AAA 13-03) to establish a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms with the GORE EXCLUDER Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis (EXCC device) in the US under IDE #G150057. A summary of the clinical study is presented below. The study was a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized clinical study with two parallel substudies, designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the EXCC device for the treatment of infrarenal AAA including in patients with short and/or angulated aortic necks. The substudies are described as follows: - Short Neck (SN) Substudy: Subjects with AAA having aortic neck angulation ≤ 60° and infrarenal aortic neck length ≥ 10 mm - High Neck Angulation (HNA) Substudy: Subjects with AAA having aortic neck angulation > 60° and ≤ 90° and infrarenal aortic neck length ≥ 10 mm Data from the Short Neck Substudy were the basis for the original PMA approval decision. The SSED containing the clinical data to support the original PMA approval is available on the CDRH website and is incorporated by reference here. Data from the HNA Substudy were the basis for the PMA Panel Track Supplement approval decision for the revised indications for use. Therefore, this SSED focuses on the results of the HNA Substudy. Additionally, there were subjects from the SN Substudy with aortic neck lengths between 10 – 15 mm with longer term follow-up. The data from these subjects was also used to support the revised indications for use and is discussed under Section XI. Summary of Supplemental Clinical Information section below. # A. Study Design Subjects were treated in the High Neck Angulation Substudy between January 22, 2018 and February 16, 2022. The database for this PMA reflected data collected through May 25, 2023 and included 95 subjects. There were 35 investigational sites in the US. Subjects were evaluated through hospital discharge and follow-up visits at one and six months, and annually through 5 years post treatment. The study was a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized clinical study. Primary Safety and Primary Effectiveness Endpoints were analyzed using frequentist one-sided exact binomial hypothesis testing (α = 0.05). The primary safety endpoint was a composite of procedural blood loss > 1000 mL and the following within 30 days of the initial procedure: death, stroke, myocardial infarction, bowel ischemia, paraplegia, respiratory failure, renal failure, and thromboembolic events (including limb occlusion and distal embolic events). A performance goal of 79% of PMA P200030 Supplement 14: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 9 {9} freedom from procedural safety events was developed to evaluate safety using historical GORE® EXCLUDER® AAA device (EXC) data. The analysis of the primary safety endpoint was intended to test the hypothesis that the proportion of subjects free from safety endpoint events (PSE) exceeded the performance goal of 79%: $$H_0 : P_{SE} \leq 0.79$$ $$H_A : P_{SE} > 0.79$$ The primary effectiveness endpoint was a composite of technical success (successful access and deployment of all required EXCC device components) and freedom from the following: Type I endoleak, Type III endoleak, migration (≥ 10 mm), and AAA enlargement (≥ 5 mm) with or without intervention at the 12-month evaluation, as well as freedom from AAA rupture and conversion to open repair through 12 months. A performance goal of 80% was developed to evaluate device effectiveness using historical EXC data. The analysis of the primary effectiveness endpoint was intended to test the hypothesis that the proportion of subjects free from effectiveness endpoint events (PEE) exceeded the performance goal of 80%: $$H_0 : P_{EE} \leq 0.80$$ $$H_A : P_{EE} > 0.80$$ GORE® EXCLUDER® AAA Device (EXC) data was used to estimate primary safety endpoint success to be 91.0% and the primary effectiveness endpoint success to be 96.0%. The primary safety endpoint was limiting in terms of statistical power. Assuming 10% attrition, the minimum sample size required was 74 subjects. Because the High Neck Angulation substudy represented a novel subject population which could induce more variability in outcomes, a larger sample size of 95 subjects was utilized. Evaluation groups used during the course of the pivotal study are described below: - During the screening process, all patients who were assessed by an Investigator to meet all inclusion / exclusion criteria were submitted to Gore for review and case approval. The initial step in Gore's review included Gore Imaging Sciences (GIS) performing an angle assessment. Patients that passed the initial angle assessment were further evaluated by GIS to ensure that the anatomy, characterized by vessel diameters and sealing zone lengths, were within the intended use parameters of the EXCC Device. At the conclusion of the process, the site was notified by Gore on the patient's eligibility (Accept / Reject). - An independent external Core Laboratory (Core Lab) was used to perform evaluations on all medical imagery submitted by clinical sites. The Core Lab reported all measurements and device assessments to Gore. - An external Clinical Events Committee (CEC) adjudicated safety and certain effectiveness endpoint events. Effectiveness endpoint events not adjudicated by the CEC were determined by the Core Lab. PMA P200030 Supplement 14: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 10 {10} • An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) reviewed all available safety data on a regular basis and provided recommendations on the continuing safety, validity and scientific merit of the study. # 1.

Follow-up Schedule All subjects were required to return for follow-up examinations at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months. Preoperatively, subjects were required to have a physical examination, serum creatinine concentration test and contrast enhanced spiral computed tomography (CT). Operatively, subjects were required to have angiography performed at the conclusion of the procedure. Post-operatively, subjects were required to have a physical examination and contrast enhanced CT scan at each visit interval. At the one-month interval, a non-contrast CT was also required. Adverse events and complications were recorded at all visits. The key timepoints are shown below in the tables summarizing safety and effectiveness.

Clinical Endpoints With regards to safety, the primary safety endpoint was a composite of procedural blood loss > 1000 mL and the following within 30 days of the initial procedure, based on the definitions provided by Chaikof et al.¹ - Death - Stroke - Myocardial Infarction - Bowel Ischemia - Paraplegia - Respiratory Failure - Renal Failure PMA P200030 Supplement 14: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 12 {12} • Thromboembolic Events (including limb occlusion and distal embolic events) With regards to effectiveness, the primary effectiveness endpoint was defined as a composite of technical success (successful access and deployment of all required EXCC device components) and freedom from: - Type I endoleak in the 12-month window* - Type III endoleak in the 12-month window* - Migration (10 mm or more) between the post-operative baseline and the 12-month window* - AAA enlargement ≥ 5 mm with or without intervention between the post-operative baseline and the 12-month window* - AAA rupture through the 12-month window - Conversion to open repair through the 12-month window *A supplemental analysis was performed which considered all Core Lab reported imaging events (Type I/III endoleak, migration AAA enlargement) observed from the 1-month through the 12-month window (T12M) as endpoint events (See Effectiveness Results discussion below in Section 2). With regard to overall study success, both the primary safety endpoint and primary effectiveness endpoint performance goals must be exceeded in order to achieve study success. In addition to the primary effectiveness endpoints, a second group of effectiveness endpoints were assessed at each study follow-up interval and were reported descriptively. The secondary effectiveness endpoints were defined as the following: - Aneurysm-related mortality - Stent fracture based on Core Lab analysis - Individual elements of the primary safety and effectiveness endpoints - Reintervention - Type II endoleak - Type IV endoleak - Index Procedure Blood Loss - Index Procedure Time - Length of Hospital Stay (initial hospitalization) # B. Accountability of PMA Cohort At the time of database lock, of the 95 subjects enrolled in the High Neck Angulation Substudy, 92 subjects were available for analysis of the primary safety endpoint at 1 month and 77 were available for analysis of the primary effectiveness endpoint at 1 year. PMA P200030 Supplement 14: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 13 {13} Compliance with the key endpoint follow-up visits is illustrated below in **Figure 4**. Three (3) subjects were not available for assessment of the primary safety endpoint at 1 month due to a missed physical exam. Eighteen (18) subjects were not available for assessment of the primary effectiveness endpoint at 12 months due to a missed contrast enhanced CT scan (CTA). Common reasons for missed CTA assessment include study discontinuation, death or renal insufficiency contraindicating the use of contrast dye. ![img-3.jpeg](img-3.jpeg) **Figure 4. Subject Compliance Flowchart for Endpoint Assessment** At the time of the database lock, 52 subjects were actively undergoing 2-5 year follow-up, 1 subject has completed 5-year follow-up, 2 subjects have experienced conversion to open repair, and 40 subjects have discontinued the study due to death, withdrawal, or non-compliance. Visit compliance, imaging evaluability, and subject status is summarized in **Table 5** for all follow-up periods.

A listing of subject deaths is provided in **Table 19**. The analysis of the primary safety endpoint was based on the cohort of 92 subjects available for the 30-day evaluation. The primary safety endpoint was a composite of procedural blood loss > 1000 mL and the following within 30 days of the initial procedure: death, stroke, myocardial infarction, bowel ischemia, paraplegia, respiratory failure, renal failure, and thromboembolic events including limb occlusion and distal embolic events. The primary safety endpoint was analyzed for eligible subjects receiving a 30-day adverse event assessment (physical exam) or experiencing an endpoint event. In the High Neck Angulation Substudy 92 of the 95 enrolled subjects completed the required assessment to be evaluated for the primary safety endpoint. Three subjects experienced an endpoint event of procedural blood loss > 1000 mL. The percentage of subjects free from a primary safety endpoint event was 96.7%. The lower confidence limit for freedom from primary safety endpoint events was 91.8%, which exceeded the performance goal of 79%. The result of the primary safety endpoint analysis is provided in **Table 15**. **Table 15. Primary Safety Endpoint Result** | Primary Safety Endpoint Analysis | Endpoint Denominator | Endpoint Event | Percent Free from Endpoint Event (95% Exact LCL)^{1} | Study Endpoint Met (LCL Exceeds 79% Performance Goal) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | High Neck Angulation Substudy (> 60° and ≤ 90°) | 92 | 3 | 96.7% (91.8%) | Yes | $^{1}$95% LCL represents one-sided 95% Lower Confidence Limit by exact Clopper-Pearson method PMA P200030 Supplement 14: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 23 {23} ### **Worst Case Sensitivity Analysis** To account for subject attrition, a worst case sensitivity analysis was performed wherein subjects excluded from the primary analyses were considered to have experienced an endpoint event. There were three (3) subjects ineligible for the primary safety analysis. The resulting freedom from a primary endpoint event was 93.7% (89/95), and the corresponding 95% lower confidence limit was 87.9% which exceeded the performance goal of 79%. ### **Adverse effects that occurred in the PMA clinical study:** Adverse events were defined as any untoward medical occurrence (that the investigator feels is a reportable event) experienced by a subject whether device related or not. Adverse Device Effect were defined as any adverse event related to the use of an investigational medical device. Major Adverse Events (MAE) were defined as adverse events meeting a safety endpoint definition extended for all study periods as shown in **Table 16**. In the High Neck Angulation Substudy, 30 subjects experienced MAE(s). Three (3) subjects experienced procedural blood loss >1000 mL, one of which also experienced respiratory failure and death at 12 months. Eight (8) additional subjects experienced respiratory failure events, resulting in death for 7 subjects. One (1) subject experienced a cerebrovascular accident (stroke) resulting in death. Two (2) subjects experienced a myocardial infarction, one of which resulted in death. One (1) subject experienced end stage renal disease (renal failure). In total 25 deaths were reported, none of which were determined to be related to the device or procedure (See **Table 19** for cause of death listing). **Table 16.

Effectiveness Results Key effectiveness outcomes are presented in Table 20 through Table 23. The protocol analysis of the primary effectiveness endpoint was based on the 77 subjects evaluable at the 12-month time point. The formal effectiveness assessment for the study was based on the primary endpoint of treatment success. This was defined as a composite of technical success (successful access and deployment of all required EXCC device components) and freedom from: - Type I endoleak in the 12-month window - Type III endoleak in the 12-month window - Migration (≥ 10 mm) between the post-operative baseline and at the 12-month window PMA P200030 Supplement 14: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 27 {27} - AAA enlargement ≥ 5 mm with or without intervention between the post-operative baseline and the 12-month window - AAA rupture through the 12-month window - Conversion to open repair through the 12-month window In the High Neck Angulation Substudy, four (4) subjects experienced an endpoint event: technical success was not achieved in two (2) subjects due to the presence of Type Ia endoleak on completion angiography (both resolved prior to the 1-month follow-up without intervention, see Table 14), one (1) additional subject experienced AAA enlargement in the 12 month window, and a fourth subject experienced conversion to open repair (n=1) due to a Type A aortic dissection in the thoracic aorta resulting in abdominal stent graft occlusion (see Device Integrity discussion below). The percentage of subjects free from a primary effectiveness endpoint event was 94.8%. The lower confidence limit for freedom from a primary effectiveness endpoint event was 88.5%, which exceeded the performance goal of 80%. An additional analysis was performed considering any Core Lab imaging event (Type I endoleak, Type III endoleak, migration, AAA enlargement) through 12 months (T12M) as an endpoint event. This T12M analysis considered all imaging events observed in the 1-month or 6-month visits as endpoint events, regardless of resolution status at 12 months. The T12M analysis of the primary effectiveness endpoint was based on the 78 subjects evaluable at the 12-month time point or with a prior endpoint event. In addition to the events described above, four (4) additional subjects had Type Ia endoleaks identified by Core Lab within the first 6 months. Resolution without reintervention or sac expansion was observed among the 3 subjects with available follow-up imaging (available follow-up through 12-, 48-, and 60-months). One subject died of coronary thrombosis (unrelated to device or procedure) prior to obtaining additional follow-up. One (1) additional sac expansion event was noted among a subject with a 7.6 mm increase in sac diameter observed at 6 months. The subject was free of sac expansion in the 12- month scan but an 8.5 mm increase in sac diameter (relative to baseline) was measured in the 24-month scan. No reintervention has been performed to date. In the original protocol analysis, this subject did not obtain treatment success due to a Type Ia endoleak observed by the investigator at completion angiography as described above. In the T12M analysis, the percentage of subjects free from a primary effectiveness endpoint event was 89.7%. The lower confidence limit for freedom from a primary effectiveness endpoint event was 82.3%, which exceeded the performance goal of 80%. The results of the primary effectiveness endpoint analyses are provided in Table 20. Table 20. Primary Effectiveness Endpoint Results | Primary Effectiveness Endpoint Analysis | Endpoint Denominator | Endpoint Event | Percent Free from Endpoint Event (95% Exact LCL)^{1} | Study Endpoint Met (LCL Exceeds 80% Performance Goal) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Protocol Analysis | 77 | 4 | 94.8% (88.5%) | Yes | | Through 12 Months Analysis | 78 | 8 | 89.7% (82.3%) | Yes | | ^{1}95% LCL represents one-sided 95% Lower Confidence Limit by exact Clopper-Pearson method | | | | | PMA P200030 Supplement 14: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 28 {28} ### Worst Case Sensitivity Analysis Subjects were required to have a post-operative baseline contrast enhanced CT scan (CTA) and a 12-month CTA evaluation (or endpoint event) to be included in the primary effectiveness analysis. Death, discontinuation, and renal insufficiency contraindicating CTA imaging were common reasons for exclusion from the analysis. To account for subject attrition and noncompliance, worst case sensitivity analyses were performed wherein subjects who did not obtain the requisite imaging were considered to have experienced an endpoint event. For the protocol analysis, eighteen (18) subjects were not eligible for primary effectiveness endpoint analysis. The resulting freedom from a primary endpoint event was 76.8% (73/95), and the corresponding 95% lower confidence limit was 68.6% which did not exceed the performance goal of 80%. For the T12M analysis, seventeen (17) subjects were not eligible for primary effectiveness endpoint analysis. The resulting freedom from a primary endpoint event through 12 months was 73.7% (70/95), and the corresponding 95% lower confidence limit was 65.2% which did not exceed the performance goal of 80%. ### Tipping Point Analysis To further contextualize the risk of noncompliance on the endpoint results, tipping point analyses were performed which incorporated simulated failure rates among the subjects with unknown endpoint outcomes into the effectiveness results. The failure threshold among the missing subjects, at which point the performance goal would not be met, was 9/18 ($\geq 50.0\%$) in the protocol analysis and 5/17 ($\geq 29.4\%$) in the T12M analysis. Of note, none of the subjects excluded from the protocol or T12M analyses went on to have an event at a later time point. Additionally, none of the subjects missing the required baseline CT image (within the first 90 post-operative days) experienced migration or AAA expansion relative to their first available post-operative CT. Considering the absence of these events, along with the observed rate of primary effectiveness events (Protocol: 5.2%; T12M: 10.3%), it is unlikely the tipping point thresholds (Protocol: 50.0%, T12M: 29.4%) would be reached among the subjects not evaluated. ### Device Effectiveness Outcomes Key Device Effectiveness outcomes, including Core lab-evaluated imaging findings and CEC-adjudicated clinical events are summarized in **Table 21** through all available follow-up. Change in AAA diameter measured by Core lab at each follow-up period are summarized in **Table 22**. Reinterventions through all available follow-up are summarized by type in **Table 23**. Imaging Findings and Clinical Events observed through all available follow-up are as follows: #### **Device Integrity** There have been no (0) cases of wire fracture or extrusion/erosion, and one (1) case of device compression. This event was considered an unanticipated adverse device effect (UADE) and involved an acute Type A aortic dissection that extended down to the abdominal aorta. The resulting multi-lumen aorta compressed the study device and led to a loss of patency for all device ---PMA P200030 Supplement 14: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 29 {29} components. Treatment for this event included open surgical repair of the thoracic aorta in addition to bilateral axillofemoral bypass without device explant. ### **Stent Graft Patency and Lumen Obstruction** One (1) subject has experienced lumen obstruction and loss of patency (See 'Device Integrity' above). ### **Migration** There have been no (0) cases of prosthesis or intercomponent migration $\geq 10$ mm as evaluated by the Core Lab. ### **Endoleak** #### **Type I Endoleak** Four (4) subjects have experienced a Type Ia endoleak and no (0) subjects have experienced a Type Ib endoleak reported by the Core Lab. All Type Ia endoleaks were identified within the first 6 months and resolution without reintervention was observed among the 3 subjects with available follow-up imaging. None (0) have experienced Core lab reported aneurysm enlargement. Procedural Type Ia endoleak was observed by investigators at completion angiography for two additional subjects (See Technical Success discussion above, **Table 14**). Both cases resolved without treatment prior to the first post-operative imaging assessment and were therefore not observed nor reported by the Core lab in the table below. #### **Type II Endoleak** In the High Neck Angulation Substudy, 52 subjects have experienced a Type II endoleak reported by the Core Lab. Among these subjects, 15 have experienced Core Lab reported aneurysm enlargement and 12 have undergone reintervention. #### **Type III Endoleak** There have been no (0) Type III endoleaks as evaluated by the Core Lab. #### **Type IV Endoleak** There have been no (0) Type IV endoleaks as evaluated by the Core Lab. ### **Indeterminate Endoleaks** Fifteen (15) subjects have had an indeterminate endoleak reported by the Core Lab at any point in the study. ### **AAA Expansion ($\geq 5$ mm)** There have been 16 subjects with a AAA expansion measured by the Core Lab relative to the post-operative baseline CT ($\leq 90$ days). Among these subjects, the Core Lab has reported 15 subjects with Type II endoleak and no (0) subjects with Type I, Type III, or Type IV endoleak. Six (6) subjects with reported an indeterminate endoleak also had sac expansion, five of which had Type II endoleak(s) reported at other imaging visit(s); the sixth subject had a one-time aneurysm increase of 5.1mm and subsequent aneurysm decrease (-3.7mm, relative to baseline) without treatment. ---PMA P200030 Supplement 14: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 30 {30} Eight (8) subjects with AAA enlargement have undergone reintervention. Five additional subjects obtained their first post-operative baseline outside of the protocol-required 90-day window; none of the three subjects with a subsequent follow-up image experienced expansion relative to their first available CT. #### **AAA Rupture** No (0) subjects in the High Neck Angulation Substudy have experienced AAA rupture by either Core Lab or CEC adjudication. #### **Reintervention** Thirteen (13) subjects have undergone a total of 23 reinterventions as adjudicated by an independent Clinical Events Committee (CEC), with 3 of these subjects experiencing reintervention on more than one occasion. Ten (10) subjects have undergone embolization procedures to repair endoleak or pseudoaneurysm, and 6 subjects have received additional stenting for the treatment of endoleak, device kink, internal iliac pseudoaneurysm, renal artery occlusion, and/or superior mesenteric arterial stenosis. #### **Conversion to Open Repair** Two (2) subjects in the High Neck Angulation Study have undergone a reintervention which met the definition of conversion to open repair as adjudicated by an independent Clinical Events Committee (CEC). One subject underwent open surgical repair on POD 50 to treat an abdominal aortic graft occlusion in the context of a Type A aortic dissection. One subject experienced a conversion to open repair on POD 1266 for a persistent Type II endoleak. **Table 21.

The site reported 6 subjects with Type I endoleak, two of which had procedural endoleaks which resolved prior to the initial Core Lab imaging assessment performed at 1-month. Sites reported Type II endoleak in 47 subjects and Core Lab reported 52 subjects. No Type III or Type IV endoleak were reported by either assessor. Indeterminate endoleaks (site, n=1; Core Lab n=15) were a category used nearly exclusively by Core Lab as evaluations are done on a per image basis and independent of previous scans; whereas, site investigators are more likely to clearly attribute endoleak source by referencing prior images. The sites measured AAA expansion in 18 subjects and the Core Lab identified expansion in 16 subjects. PMA P200030 Supplement 14: FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data Page 33 {33} **Table 24.
