Oria Zenith
Ortho Tec
FDA Clearance Information
The Oria Zenith was cleared by the FDA through the 510(k) pathway on March 20, 2003. It is manufactured by Ortho Tec and classified as a Class 2 medical device.
What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, as described in the available FDA summary.
Clinical Applications
- Endovascular placement across a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm to exclude the aneurysm from blood flow.
- Treatment of selected complex thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms when anatomy is suitable for stent-graft repair.
- Use as a minimally invasive alternative to open surgical aneurysm repair in appropriately selected patients.
Reported off-label uses
- Use in selected aneurysms or dissections outside the specific labeled thoracoabdominal indication has been described for some aortic stent-graft systems, but this should not be assumed to be cleared for the Oria Zenith.
Off-label use: these uses are reported in practice or the literature but are not part of the FDA-cleared indications. Physicians may use a cleared device off-label based on their medical judgment; the manufacturer may not promote off-label uses.

Evidence Limitations
Practical Considerations
- The available record does not provide the device's full size range, delivery-system specifications, or detailed anatomic requirements; clinicians should consult the official labeling.
- Treatment requires suitable aortic landing zones, access vessels, and branch-vessel anatomy, which are assessed with contrast-enhanced CT angiography or another appropriate imaging study.
- Placement is performed under fluoroscopic imaging, usually through femoral or iliac arterial access, with anesthesia or sedation selected according to the procedure and patient.
- MRI safety and conditional scanning requirements must be confirmed from the device labeling; do not assume the graft is safe under all MRI conditions.
- Potential issues include endoleak, graft migration or obstruction, branch-vessel compromise, access-site injury, renal injury from contrast, and the need for lifelong imaging surveillance.
