Zacks Investment Research | Aug 21, 2016 09:00PM ET
Medical device manufacturer, Endologix, Inc. (NASDAQ:ELGX) recently announced the treatment of the first two abdominal aortic aneurysms (“AAA”) patients with its yet-to-be released Ovation Alto Abdominal Stent Graft System. Notably, the Ovation Alto Abdominal Stent Graft System is the latest addition to Endologix’s existing Ovation Abdominal Stent Graft platform.
AAA is one of the most serious cardiovascular diseases, where the part of the aorta passing through the abdomen swells because of weakening of the vessel wall. Notably, EVAR is a minimally invasive alternative to major open surgery for the treatment of AAA.
Endologix’s Ovation Abdominal Stent Graft Platform is the lowest profile, Endovascular Aortic Repair (EVAR) device approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved. So far it has successfully treated 10,000 patients globally, taking care of a large variety of anatomies with a novel, less invasive and clinically proven solution for EVAR.
