Abstract
The GORE® TAG® (W.L. Gore and Associates, Inc., [AZ, USA]) has gone through many changes since it was first introduced in the late 1990s. The Conformable GORE TAG has recently become commercially available and underwent several changes from the original design to help increase compression resistance, expand treatment ranges and oversizing windows, and improve conformability. This article describes the GORE TAG and Conformable GORE TAG devices, their potential uses and the outcomes in treating various aortic pathologies.
