Endologix LLC announced the first implant of its ALTO Abdominal Stent Graft in Canada following recent approval from Health Canada. ALTO was also recently approved for commercial sale in Argentina. The first case in Canada was performed on May 4 by Dr. Ghislain Nourissat at Hôpital Saint-François-d'Assise in Quebec. ALTO was used for this patient within the approved indications for use despite the presence of hostile neck anatomy and narrow access vessels. Featuring a unique, patented, sealing technology, the ALTO Abdominal Stent Graft System is the latest generation in polymer-based therapies for AAA patients. ALTO utilizes a low-profile delivery system and, unlike standard EVAR devices, features an exclusive conformable sealing ring that molds in-situ to the patient’s specific aortic neck anatomy.
