Congratulations to the team in Greece for the #first_in_world relining using our Meridian™ FEVAR Endograft system.
Meridian™ is a non-standard device that is created for individual patients; working closely with the clinical team, we were able to map the exact graft design required to best treat the patient, and provide an excellent clinical outcome.
To find out more, visit our website, get in touch with your local sales rep or by emailing globalinfo@lombardmedical.com.When you think there’s no solution, #Meridian - the customized #fenestrated endograft based on the #Altura platform - can provide this solution! Delighted to share the #first_in_world case of relining a Nellix with a Meridian endograft. Patient was treated with Nellix in 2017 and recent follow up showed migration and an anterior type 1A endoleak reperfusing the sac without enough distance between the Nellix and the renal arteries to properly deploy any device. A custom built Meridian endograft with two fenestrations for the renal arteries seemed to be the best and possibly only viable endovascular solution for this 85-year-old CAD patient.
Final angiogram demonstrated an excellent result with exclusion of the endoleak and patency of the renal arteries.
Many thanks to my collaborators for this case Christos Gkekas, Kanellos Giakoumakis, minas kakampouras as well as Lombard Medical Limited, Paul Hayes, Jacopo Torresan and Andreas Tzouras for helping with planning and supporting this very interesting and challenging case. Special thanks to Endosynergy for distributing this endograft in Greece. Once again, Mediterraneo Hospital with its new Hybrid Operating Theatre equipped with the Phillips Azurion Imaging Suite featuring the invaluable Fusion technology proved to be the perfect place for our complex aortic endovascular procedures.
Finally, I extend my gratitude and appreciation to the management of the Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus - MHOCfor continuously providing a reliable and solid Hospital base for our team together withKonstantinos Vasilas and Nektario Papa. Full access to state-of-the-art imaging equipment in a Hybrid Operating Theatre, the #first_in_Cyprus Medical #3D_Printing Lab, Ultrasound Diagnostic Lab, 24/7/365 top-notch hospital facilities and ICU support have enabled us to successfully grow the Vascular & Endovascular Surgery Department of the Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus - MHOC into a high-volume Endovascular Complex Aortic, Peripheral arterial, Vascular Access and Venous disease Center in Cyprus during the past 2.5 years.
