  • Título: E-liac – More than 700 patients successful treated worldwide
  • Fecha: 25-02-2016

  • Since the worldwide market launch in 2014 more than 700 patients have been successfully treated with the E-liac stent graft. The innovative iliac side branch stent graft system is indicated for endovascular treatment of aorto-iliac aneurysm as well as for isolated iliac aneurysm to preserve blood flow into the internal iliac artery. Isolated common iliac artery aneurysms are relatively uncommon, occurring in only 0.03% of the population, however In the presence of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), aneurysmal iliac arteries are significantly more common, accompanying this disease in up to 40% of the patients.

    The E-liac stent graft features numerous innovative technical solutions like the unique asymmetric spring configuration to achieve high 3D flexibility while maintaining appropriate longitudinal stiffness. This allows best vessel adaption even in angulated iliac arteries. A free standing side branch with distal compression stent as well as excellent X-ray visibility are further important features of the stent graft. Various configurations in diameter and lengths are available for choosing the right product for best individual treatment of the patient. A low profile 18F catheter is used for the delivery system offering excellent pushability and enhanced flexibility without risk of kinking. The delivery system was adapted for cross-over manoeuvres and is equipped with the well proven Squeeze-to-Release deployment mechanism for stepwise or continuous release of the stent graft.

    Based on the clinical experiences JOTEC has extended the existing product range by 14mm proximal diameter with a 65mm proximal length. In case of aorto-iliac aneurysms these new versions provide up to 35mm overlapping zone with the connecting contralateral leg which gives a high safety against disconnection in angulated anatomies. The new configurations offer also more flexibility in choosing the right length of the connecting leg in order to use existing lengths more properly.
