  • Título: Endologix Announces Reinstatement of CE Mark for AFX® and AFX ® 2 Endovascular AAA System
  • Fecha: 25-01-2017
  • John McDermott, Chief Executive Officer of Endologix, said, "We are pleased that AFX and AFX2 are once again
    available to physicians and patients in Europe. The quick reinstatement of the CE Mark is a testament to the
    strong commercial clinical results achieved with the current generations of the device. Additionally, during this
    process we received numerous letters and endorsements from physicians worldwide and we'd like to thank them
    for their support."
    The CE Mark was temporarily suspended due to reports of Type III endoleaks with a prior generation of the AFX
    system. The CE Mark was reinstated based upon low rates of reported Type III endoleaks with the current
    generation of AFX products, which was also outlined in a recent
    letter to physicians
    provided by Endologix.
    About Endologix, Inc.
    Endologix, Inc., develops and manufactures minimally invasive treatments for aortic disorders. The Company's
    focus is endovascular stent grafts for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). AAA is a weakening of
    the wall of the aorta, the largest artery in the body, resulting in a balloon-like enlargement. Once AAA develops, it
    continues to enlarge and, if left untreated, becomes increasingly susceptible to rupture. The overall patient
    mortality rate for ruptured AAA is approximately 80%, making it a leading cause of death in the United States.
