Endovascular aneurysm repair linked to higher readmission rates
(University of Missouri-Columbia) Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA) are responsible for nearly 2% of all deaths in U.S. men over the age of 65. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has emerged as a newer and less invasive alternative to open repair for rAAA. But researchers from the University of Missouri School of Medicine have discovered that while EVAR is more commonly utilized for rAA, the odds of hospital readmission after EVAR are 1.5 times higher compared to traditional open repair.

Endologix Takes a Step Forward with Nellix IDE
Endologix has received investigational device exemption (IDE) approval from FDA for a new pivotal study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Nellix Chimney Endovascular Aneurysm Sealing System for the endovascular treatment of complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).
The system is an endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm therapy designed to combine the Nellix 3.5 endograft with parallel visceral stents to enable treatment of patients with juxta-renal, para-renal, and suprarenal AAA. The application of endovascular aneurysm sealing for patients with complex aneurysms will offer innovativ...

Gore Scores FDA Nod for More Precise TEVAR Solution
W.L. Gore and Associates has received a nod from FDA for a more precise Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) solution.
The Flagstaff, AZ-based company said the Gore Tag Conformable Thoracic Stent Graft with Active Control System provides new precision and predictable patient outcomes in the endovascular repair of aneurysms, transections, and Type B dissections of the descending thoracic aorta.
A smaller-diameter primary delivery sleeve gives the device and system a lower profile across 10 device sizes.
“Gore has been on the front end and has really defined and established the TEVAR minimally invasi...

How Endologix Renewed One Doctor & #039;s Confidence in the Ovation Device
It's been a turbulent couple of years for Endologix, but as MD+DI reported in February, the company has been working hard to win back customers.
During the company's first-quarter earnings call, CEO John Onopchenko shared a story about a physician at an academic medical center in the Western United States (he did not disclose the name of the physician or the center) who had used Ovation only twice over the course of 2017 and 2018.Â
Irvine, CA-based Endologix acquired the Ovation platform through its merger with TriVascular in February 2016. It's a low-profile device that has broadened the company's portfolio in...

FDA approves Intact Vascular ’ s Tack dissection repair device
The FDA last week granted pre-market approval to the Tack endovascular repair device developed by Intact Vascular.
The Wayne, Pa.-based company’s Tack system is designed to repair dissection complications during balloon angioplasty for peripheral artery disease. Intact said the federal safety watchdog based the April 11 PMA decision on the results of a pivotal, 213-patient single-arm trial that met both its safety and efficacy endpoints. The Tack device won CE Mark approval in the European Union in January 2017.

Affluent Medical touts results of endovascular aneurysm repair study
Medtech startup Affluent Medical (Paris, France) said a study of its endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) system device showed patients had fewer endoleaks and needed fewer secondary interventions, and that their aneurysms shrank in volume and diameter.
The company’s Kardiozis endovascular prosthesis uses thrombogenic fibers to embolize an abdominal aortic aneurism sac during a conventional EVAR procedure to prevent endoleaks and the recurrence of the condition.
The Scope 1 randomized, controlled, multicentric clinical trial enrolled 102 patients at four sites in France, beginning in 2013. With a 24-month follow-up ...
