Endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) is an innovative alternative to conventional endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). EVAS relies on sac anchoring without proximal fixation to achieve sealing and should have allowed for the treatment of a broader range of anatomic features compared with standard EVAR. Despite the encouraging early reports, the mid...

• Endovascular aneurysm sealing with the Nellix system was introduced to reduce perioperative complications; • EVAS has been associated to a high endoleaks and complications incidence when compared to EVAR; • The use of coil embolization is controversial, this tool can be an alternative in patients without other surgical options; • Proximal endolea...

The Nellix endovascular aneurysm sealing system (Endologix, Irvine, Calif) was presented as a novel concept in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm. After numerous adverse events, the device was voluntarily withdrawn from the market by the manufacturer. This video describes the technical approach of a successful explantation of the Nellix end...

Adverse outcomes observed late in the Nellix EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing (EVAS) System (Endologix, Inc, Irvine, Calif) investigational device exemption trial prompted refinement of the anatomic instructions for use (IFU). This study aimed to investigate the association of procedural factors during Nellix endograft deployment and patient outcomes....

Chimney endovascular aneurysm sealing (ch-EVAS) could potentially minimize gutter-associated endoleaks in patients with juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms resulting from the use of the conformable endobags surrounding the chimney stent grafts (ch-SGs). The aim of the present study was to quantify the (non)apposition of the endobags in the proxim...

A 66-year-old man arrived at our emergency department 3 years after an endovascular aneurysm sealing procedure performed at another center. Computed tomography angiography showed distal migration of a Nellix endoprosthesis (Endologix, Irvine, Calif) and a posterior contained rupture. The left kidney was excluded by an occluded iliac-left renal bypa...

BackgroundEndovascular aortic sealing (EVAS) using the Nellix system was a new approach to reduce the frequency of type II endoleaks after endovascular aortic repair. We analyzed the mid-term results, specifically looking at device migration, endoleaks and subsequent necessary secondary interventions.ResultsTen patients underwent elective EVAS trea...

Background The Nellix endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) system is a novel approach for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of EVAS in the management of patients with AAA. Materials and methods We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, and bibliographic reference lists to identify studies reporting clinic...

The Nellix System (Endologix, Inc, Irvine, Calif) for endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) is a novel approach to abdominal aortic aneurysm treatment and conceptually different from endovascular aneurysm repair, whereby polymer is employed to fill and actively manage the abdominal aortic aneurysm sac. One-year safety and effectiveness results of th...

Endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) with the Nellix stent graft system is a novel concept in the management of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) that aims to reduce the prevalence of all endoleaks following endovascular repair. There are few data describing the longer-term durability of this approach. The aim was to report the longer-term outcomes f...
