The use of endoprostheses for the
treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms
has been very popular in recent years.
The mid-term results are now being
evaluated in some multicentre studies.
The endovascular procedure can be said to remain the
most extensively used method.
Anaconda™ has been available in the stent graft market
for several years now.

SUM MIT

The interest this device has generated is undoubtedly
a result of its unique technical and structural
characteristics linked with a number of positive
findings in published clinical papers. This has
led us to propose an International Summit
in order to discuss the current status and
future development of this AAA stent graft
system.
What we believe will emerge from this
meeting is that both assessment and feedback
are crucial to the ongoing development and
success of the device. The programme will
feature discussions on several clinical cases and we
will review the status of a European Registry.
The summit will therefore provide an invaluable
opportunity to get together to discuss our collective
experiences with the implantation of this unique and
innovative aortic endoprosthesis.
