Historie
Es ist wichtig festzuhalten, daß die offene und die
endovaskuläre chirurgische Therapie des infrarenalen
Aortenaneurysmas zur Zeit nicht vergleichbar
nebeneinanderstehen, da bislang für den
endovaskulären Behandlungsansatz äußerst strenge
Selektionskriterien verfolgt werden müssen, während
für die offene chirurgische Rekonstruktion keine
wesentliche morphologische Einschränkung besteht.
Allenberg, Deutsches Ärzteblatt, 1998 (57)

“The ‘sealing the entire aneurysm’ idea of the Nellix system quite simply represents a very seductive concept that seems to lure the vascular surgeon beyond the IFU.” “Little to no neck?” Angulated necks? Large necks?....All not a problem, the endobags will take care of it….the sky seems the limit.”
Realistic patient selection
Precise placement of stents
Good endobag filling
Adequate proximal and distal seal in parallel sided artery
Refinement of IFU (28mm, 10% conicity)

CONCLUSION:
EVAS is an innovative, intriguing concept in the treatment of abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA). Short-term outcomes of the Nellix system is promising. Early
experience of Nellix out of IFU when treating patients with challenging proximal
infraenal necks, with post EVAR complications, short necks and chimney techniques
show technical feasibility and promising short-term results. Mid- and long-term data
are needed to validate device and procedure durability.
J Cardiovasc Surg: 2014,Oct;55:601-12.
Use of the Nellix EVAS system to treat post-EVAR
complications and to treat challenging infrarenal
necks.
