VITAL IMAGES' ENDOVASCULAR STENT PLANNING APPLICATION WITH FENESTRATED STENT PLANNING RECEIVES FDA CLEARANCE

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 17 (Bernama) -- Approximately 600,000 global cases of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are diagnosed annually¹. Left untreated, these aneurysms can rupture, causing profound internal bleeding often leading to death within minutes². Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair with stents have shorter recovery times and better outcomes than alternative open surgical repair of aortic aneurysms³, but require good pre-procedure planning, often using Endovascular Stent Planning (EVSP) applications. Fenestrated Stent Planning is ideal for patients who do not meet the recommended criteria due to inadequate infrarenal neck anatomy which is not suitable for conventional aortic aneurysm repair with standard devices.
