Groups and cohorts

  • 1

    Patients diagnosed with AAA who are considered candidates for Endovascular Repair and meet the study eligibility criteria and sign the Informed consent may be subsequently enrolled in the study.

    Device: Nellix Endovascular Aneurysm Sealing System (Nellix®-System)

Interventions

  • DeviceNellix Endovascular Aneurysm Sealing System (Nellix®-System)

    The Nellix system is comprised of two independent flow channels, one to each iliac artery. Each flow channel consists of a balloon-expanded ePTFE covered stent surrounded by a Polymer-filled EndoBag which fills the blood lumen within the aorta, and seals the aneurysm from side-branch flow.

    Also known as: Nellix EVAS FORWARD 2

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of subjects with Immediate Procedural Technical Success

    Technical success is defined as successful delivery and deployment of the Nellix System in the planned location.

    Time frame: 30 Days

  2. Safety assessment by Number of subjects with absence of Major Adverse Events (MAEs)

    Safety endpoint is measured with the number of subjects who are reported freedom of major adverse events (MAEs) including (1) all-cause death, (2) bowel ischemia, (3) myocardial infarction, (4) paraplegia, (5) renal failure, (6) respiratory failure, (7) stroke, and (8) Blood Loss \> 1000mL at 30 Days post index procedure.

    Time frame: 30 Days

  3. Number of subjects with Aneurysm rupture

    The number of patients experiencing a rupture of the aneurysm will be summarized at 30 days and within each follow-up window (i.e., six months, and annually at years 1 through 5).

    Time frame: 5 years

  4. Number of subjects with Conversion to open surgical repair

    The number of patients undergoing surgical conversion to open repair will be provided at 30 days and within each follow-up window (i.e., six months, and annually at years 1 through 5).

    Time frame: 5 years

  5. Number of subjects with Endoleak of any type

    The number of patients with any endoleak, and patients with each endoleak type at 30 days and within each follow-up window (i.e., six months, and annually at years 1 through 5) will be summarized.

    Time frame: 5 years

  6. Number of subjects with Clinically significant migration

    The number of patients with clinically significant migration will be summarized descriptively.

    Time frame: 5 years

  7. Number of subjects with Aneurysm enlargement

    The number of patients with Aneurysm enlargement will be summarized descriptively. Sac enlargement is defined in the protocol as increase in late follow-up compared to the initial post-op measurement.

    Time frame: 5 years

  8. Number of incidence with Secondary endovascular procedures

    The overall secondary procedure incidence and the individual component incidence will be provided.

    Time frame: 5 years

Other outcomes

  1. Number of subjects with incidence of device patency and integrity

    Device patency and integrity will be measured by the number and proportion of patients at 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year to 5 years including Stent Kinking, Lumen Occlusion, and Stent Fracture.

    Time frame: 5 years

  2. Number of incidence with Distal Complications

    The number of incidence of distal thrombosis, embolization and iliac stenosis will be summarized.

    Time frame: 5 years
