Use of the IntuiTrak stent-graft delivery system for percutaneous abdominal aortic aneurysm exclusion: initial single-center experience.

The exclusion of abdominal aortic aneurysms by endovascular techniques has enabled the treatment of patients who have high-risk comorbidities that preclude safe surgical repair. Since the development of the unibody bifurcated endovascular stent-graft for abdominal aortic aneurysm exclusion, remarkable technological improvements have facilitated stent-graft delivery and reduced the required size of the access site. Our initial institutional experience with the use of the Endologix IntuiTrak Express Delivery System for the Powerlink stent-graft (in 7 patients) shows that the device is suited for percutaneous use without sequelae.
