NEXUS™ Aortic Arch Stent Graft System First In Man Study

"The Nexus stent graft is introduced through a groin to the diseased location at the Aortic Arch. Depending on the patients anatomy and other medical considerations the physician may decide that blood flow to the sub-clavian artery and possibly also to the left carotid artery is required to be maintained via surgical bypass grafting, either immediately, or a few days, before the implantation. In addition to the incision for introducing the investigational stent graft, two smaller access sites are required, one at the groin on the opposite side and on into the Right Arm to the Brachial Artery.~This endovascular procedure will likely require full anesthesia. The entire procedure is assisted by an angiography imaging system."
