Lombard Medical Announces First Patient Enrolled and Treated in the ALTITUDE Registry for the Altura® Stent Graft System
Lombard Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVAR), a developer, manufacturer and
marketer of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair products, today
announced that it has enrolled and treated the first patient in its
global registry to evaluate its Altura® Endograft System.
The ALTITUDE registry (ALTura Impact on the Treatment
of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Using a Novel D-stent EVAR
Design) is being conducted across a range of UK and international
clinical centers to evaluate the use of the Altura Endograft System in
1,000 patients in typical clinical-use conditions.
ALTITUDE's Chief investigator, Paul Hayes, M.D., F.R.C.S., Department of
Surgery, University of Cambridge and Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge,
UK, commented, "This registry will allow the clinical community of AAA
implanters to gain necessary experience with Altura. Given the system's
ultra-low profile, its repositionability, the elimination of the
contralateral cannulation step and retrograde delivery of the limb
sections, this innovative design promises to facilitate a much simpler,
faster, more predictable and consistent deployment of the endograft. The
launch of this registry confirms Lombard's confidence in the product and
will allow us to develop a robust dataset about long-term outcomes."
"I am encouraged by our positive early clinical experience with Altura.
The simplicity of planning, accuracy of deployment and repositionability
could lead to it becoming a orkhorse device in the future. The ALTITUDE
registry will provide a real world evaluation of the longer term
outcomes," said Simon Kreckler, M.D., F.R.C.S., vascular & endovascular
surgeon at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, UK.
