Successful Use of Nellix and Endovascular Aortic Sealing Technology for Treatment of Aortic Rupture in a Porcine Model

Endovascular aortic sealing for rupture is feasible and performs well in a porcine model of aortic rupture. Polymer extravasation is seen and may be controllable by the implanter. Once the polymer has cured, pulsatile aortic wall pressure is no longer present. EVAS represents an emerging technology for treatment of aortic rupture.
