Explanting the Nellix Endovascular Aortic Sealing Endoprosthesis for Proximal Aortic Neck Failure

Progressive Device Failure at Long Term Follow Up of the Nellix EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing (EVAS) System

“…Case reports describe an inflammatory reaction in the iliac arteries from the device, which predisposes to intimal damage. 21 However, the proximal aspect of the device was significantly easier to explant than conventional EVAR devices. 21 NINA is a feasible option to salvage failing EVAS devices.…”

“…21 However, the proximal aspect of the device was significantly easier to explant than conventional EVAR devices. 21 NINA is a feasible option to salvage failing EVAS devices. 22 The early death occurred in secondary AAA rupture and this patient was considered unfit for open repair.…”

Nellix Endovascular Aortic Sealing Endoprosthesis Late Explantation for Concomitant Type I Endoleak and Stent Frames Proximal Caudal Migration

“…has been the first to discuss two Nellix endograft explants required for endoleak and proximal caudal migration of the stent frames. 25…”

Explantation of an ALTO abdominal stent graft

“…Explantation of infrarenal aortic endografts has been previously described. 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 To the best of our knowledge, currently, no cases have been reported on the operative technique to explant aortic endografts designed with polymer rings to facilitate a proximal seal (ALTO Abdominal Stent Graft; Endologix). Explanation, because of the polymer ring, poses unique challenges compared with other devices with suprarenal fixation.…”
