Lombard Medical, Inc. announced the successful outcome of the first-in-man clinical EVAR case using its new low profile IntelliFlex(TM) LP Delivery System to deploy its endovascular stent graft, Aorfix(TM). The case was performed by the team of Prof. Andrew Holden, Director of Interventional Services and Associate Professor of Radiology at Auckland University School of Medicine, and Dr. Andrew Hill, Professor of Surgery, University of Auckland, at Auckland City Hospital in New Zealand. The IntelliFlex LP Delivery System features a low profile, intuitive, compact and ergonomic design that enhances the precision and control of Aorfix deployment and placement.
