Are you or someone you know 40 or older? If you answered yes, there's something you should know: an estimated 5-10% of people in the U.S. ≥40 years of age have #PeripheralArteryDisease, and they might not even know they have it. Peripheral artery disease, also referred to as #PAD, is a painful and debilitating disease that can lead to amputation. In fact, 150,000 PAD-related amputations are performed each year.
Victoria shared her powerful story of how the pain of #PAD in her legs took away her will to do everyday tasks and sidelined her from the life she had been living. However, this all changed when her doctor recommended a minimally invasive procedure called #PTAB to restore the blood flow in her legs.
Learn more about PAD and the PTAB procedure that can offer hope to patients like Victoria suffering from advanced PAD.

The 10-year clinical outcomes discussed reflect data from the Ovation platform and Adaptive Sealing Technology (AST) experience. ALTO incorporates the same foundational AST but was introduced more recently and therefore does not have 10 years of device-specific follow-up. Long-term outcome data include patients treated with earlier-generation Ovation devices utilizing AST.

Long-term outcomes from an independent retrospective study of the Ovation stent graft with Adaptive Sealing Technology demonstrate durable #abdominalaorticaneurysm exclusion through extended follow-up (mean 83 months). Today's #ALTO abdominal stent graft is built using the same Adaptive Sealing Technology, designed to address the durability issues in #EVAR.

Complex #PAD demands safety and durability. The #DETOURSystem was built for both.
Comparing the three-year results of a recent meta-analysis and the DETOUR2 Study, #PTAB with the DETOUR System demonstrated long-term durability similar to that of contemporary prosthetic above-knee bypass benchmarks.

How is the #ALTO stent graft able to have the lowest delivery profile of any other #EVAR device? Polymer.
Michael Chobotov, PhD, the inventor of ALTO stent graft technology, explains in depth how polymer enables the low profile, which supports percutaneous access and closure.

#AAA can often go undiagnosed until patients end up in a life-threatening situation. This is what happened with Michael, who presented in the ER with extreme pain that was found to be caused by an 11cm AAA. Further examination revealed that his aneurysm was characterized by a short neck and significant neck angulation. Fortunately, Michael was treated by Gregory Groglio, MD, who's go-to stent graft is #ALTO, which can withstand the considerations of specialized anatomies just like Michael's.

"Conventional stent grafts exclude the sac at the expense of the neck, and ALTO excludes the sac and the neck." That's how Michael Chobotov, PhD, and the inventor of the #ALTO stent graft, describes how ALTO is different from all other grafts.

Adaptive sealing technology, the foundation for the #ALTO abdominal stent graft platform, provides a custom seal and conforms to the needs of specialized anatomies. This technology eliminates chronic radial force in the seal zone* and results in stable neck diameters out to 5 years.
*Seal zone for the ALTO stent graft is defined as a location 7mm down for the lowest renal.

Newly published 3-year data for the #DETOURSystem support its role as a minimally invasive approach in patients with complex SFA disease.
The DETOUR2 trial was comprised of patients with a mean lesion length of 32.7 cm, 96% chronic total occlusions, and 70% severely calcified lesions. "These findings highlight the durability of #PTAB with the DETOUR System in treating long, complex lesions that historically have required open surgical bypass," said Endologix President and CEO John Liddicoat.
