The Nellix device (Endologix, Irvine, CA) is a novel endovascular aneurysm sealing system (EVAS) designed to address some of the issues with current infrarenal endovascular aneurysm devices. Persistent flow in the aneurysm sac after deployment of a stent graft can…
Introduction Anatomical characteristics of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are the most critical factors for successful endovascular repair (EVAR). The long-term durability of EVAR is highly dependent on the integrity of the proximal fixation site. Severe proximal aortic neck angulation…
The original Endologix endovascular graft is currently called AFX, mainly to distinguish it from the other Endologix products, Ovation and Nellix (Endologix, Irvine, California). The AFX2 is the third-generation endovascular system after the earlier Powerlink and AFX stent grafts. The…
