Endologix Alto Abdominal Stent Graft System Introduced in Canada and Argentina
May 11, 2021—Endologix LLC announced the first implant of its Alto abdominal stent graft in Canada after recent approval from Health Canada. Alto was also recently approved for commercial sale in Argentina.
Ghislain Nourissat, MD, performed the first case in Canada on May 4 at Hôpital Saint-François d’Assise in Quebec City, Quebec. Alto was used for this patient within the approved indications for use despite the presence of hostile neck anatomy and narrow access vessels, noted Endologix.
“As an early adopter of polymer technology, I have seen how Alto’s custom sealing technology provides a precise patient-specific seal for a diverse range of anatomies,” commented Dr. Nourissat in the company’s press release. “With this technology, as well as its low profile and short neck indication, I believe Alto has the potential to become the standard in endovascular aneurysm repair.”
Alto features a low-profile delivery system and conformable sealing ring that molds in-situ to the patient’s specific aortic neck anatomy, stated Endologix.
