Overview of Presentations at VEITHsymposium®
INCRAFT® AAA Stent Graft System
Cordis launched the INCRAFT® System in Europe and Canada in September 2014, representing a significant advancement in the treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The INCRAFT® System features an ultra-low profile 14F outer diameter3 delivery system to simplify access, navigation, and deployment. The customizable tri-modular design of the INCRAFT® System also offers bilateral in-situ adjustments, substantially improving placement accuracy.
Two new oral presentations at the VEITHsymposium® will add to the body of scientific evidence supporting the INCRAFT® System:
- The "3-Year European Results With A Lower Profile Device for EVAR: Advantages of the INCRAFT® From Cordis: The INNOVATION Trial" will be presented by Prof. Dr. Giovanni Pratesi, University of Rome Tor Vergata, on Nov. 20 at 8:16 a.m. EST in the Grand Ballroom West. This is the first oral presentation of the three-year INNOVATION study data.
- The "US Experience With The New Cordis INCRAFT For EVAR: Advantages and Limitations" will be presented by Dr. Michel Makaroun, Co-Director of UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute and Professor and Chair of Division of Vascular Surgery, on Nov. 20 at 8:22 a.m. EST in the Grand Ballroom West.
The INCRAFT® System is currently approved for investigational device use only in the U.S. and Japan and is being studied in a global pivotal clinical study called INSPIRATION. The one-year INSPIRATION study data is expected to be presented in early 2015. This study will support our regulatory filings for approval in the U.S. and Japan.
Chocolate® PTA Balloon Catheter
In April 2014, Cordis expanded its portfolio of angioplasty solutions to advance the treatment of complex vascular disease with the launch of the Chocolate® Balloon in the U.S. Encased in a nitinol constraining structure, the Chocolate® Balloon provides uniform and predictable inflation, leading to sustained luminal gain while overcoming the significant clinical challenge of flow-limiting dissection. The Chocolate® Balloon has been used to treat above-the-knee (ATK) and below-the-knee (BTK) lesions to help avoid amputation in over 10,000 patients in the U.S. Dr. Jihad Mustapha, Director of Cardiovascular Catheterization Laboratories, Metro Health Hospital in Wyoming, MI, will present "The Chocolate® Balloon: A New Better Less Traumatic Drug Coated Balloon for Dilating Arterial Lesions With Less Dissection: Mode of Action, Advantages And Clinical Experience" on Nov. 19 at 3:42 p.m. EST in the Grand Ballroom West. Longer-term data (up to 12 months) from the Chocolate® BAR Study, with the Chocolate® Balloon, are expected to be available in 2015.
S.M.A.R.T.® Stent
The Cordis family of S.M.A.R.T.® Stents are the world's most used, studied and clinically proven nitinol stents with well over a decade of experience. The S.M.A.R.T® Stent is designed to provide outstanding scaffolding and support to the vessel and features high radial force and longitudinal stability. The STROLL three-year outcomes presentation, "3-Year Results Of The STROLL Trial With Smart Stents In The SFA: Patency and Quality of Life Are Maintained," will be presented on Nov. 20 at 1:00 p.m. EST in the Grand Ballroom West by Michael R. Jaff, DO, Paul and Phyllis Fireman Chair of Vascular Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts. The STROLL study adds to a large collection of S.M.A.R.T® Stent investigations ranging from retrospective analyses, to prospective registries and single- and double-arm randomized clinical trials.
