Talent Abdominal Stent Graft With Xcelerant Hydro Delivery System

About the Talent Abdominal Stent Graft System

The Talent Abdominal Stent Graft System treats descending abdominal aortic aneurysms using a minimally invasive endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) procedure, thereby offering an alternative to open surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).  

• Approved to treat more patients than any competitive stent graft¹
• A 10-mm neck length indication due to its short-neck engineering
• Excellent long-term clinical results¹
• Refer  to the Instructions For Use (IFU)
• Long-term performance of endovascular grafts has not yet been established

IMPORTANT

Refer to Talent Abdominal Stent Graft System Instructions for Use for patient applicability restrictions.

The Talent Abdominal Stent Graft System has been shown to be safe and effective through over 5 years of clinical data. Longer term data is required to examine the rate of adverse events including surgical conversion, aneurysm-related death, migration and endoleak beyond this time frame.
 

How It Works

Talent Abdominal Stent Graft Systems

The Talent Abdominal Stent Graft System consists of the following components:

• Talent Abdominal Stent Graft System 
• Talent Converter Stent Graft System
• Talent Occluder Stent Graft System

The Talent Abdominal Stent Graft System

The Talent Abdominal Stent Graft with the Xcelerant^® Hydro Delivery System (HDS) is made up of 2 main components: an implantable stent graft and a disposable delivery system. The pre-loaded stent graft is advanced to the aneurysm location over a guidewire and, upon retraction of the graft cover, expands to the indicated diameter. During deployment and expansion, the stent graft is intended to form proximal and distal seal zones surrounding the aneurysm location.

The Talent Abdominal Stent Graft System is modular and consists of 4 stent graft components:

• Bifurcated (aorto-iliac) main body
• Contralateral iliac limb
• Iliac extensions
• Aortic extension cuff

Each component is introduced separately into the patient’s vascular system. Each stent graft component is comprised of nitinol metal springs attached to polyester fabric graft material. For all configurations the proximal and distal springs are attached to connecting bars to provide additional columnar strength to the stent graft. The springs are sewn to the polyester fabric graft using polyester suture material. Radiopaque markers, made out of platinum-iridium in the shape of a figure eight, are sewn onto the stent graft to aid in its visualization under fluoroscopy and to facilitate accurate placement of the device.  A mini-support spring along the proximal end of the bifurcated graft provides additional radial force and seal.

The stent graft is designed to be placed in the native vessel such that the unconstrained stent graft diameter is larger than the diameter of the native vessel into which it is to be placed. This “oversizing” helps to exclude the aneurysm from aortic blood flow and ensure that the stent graft is held in place. The amount of oversizing required is dependent on the diameter of the native vessel.

Talent Converter Stent Graft System The Talent Converter Stent Graft with Xcelerant Hydro Delivery System is indicated for secondary endovascular intervention in patients having received prior endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic or aortoiliac aneurysms using the Talent or AneuRx® bifurcated stent grafts, in which there is inadequate proximal fixation, seal, overlapping of modular components, or unattainable contralateral limb cannulation.

Talent Occluder Stent Graft System The Talent Occluder with Occluder Delivery System is intended for endoluminal occlusion of the common iliac artery in order to prevent retrograde blood into the aneurysm sac subsequent to a fem-fem bypass.
