and similar outcomes to commercially available endografts in the LEOPARD randomized controlled trial.
The LEOPARD trial is the first RCT comparing an anatomically fixated endograft (AFX/AFX2) to proximal fixation endografts; and demonstrated1 the following:
0%
Freedom
from rupture
0%
Freedom from ARM*
0%
AFX/AFX2 type III endoleak rate at 5 years
*ARM: Aneurysm-Related Mortality
Freedom-from event estimates were comparable to contemporary proximal fixation endografts.
“Importantly, the comparable performance results from the LEOPARD study between AFX/AFX2 and other endografts align with a recent publication1 that was authored on behalf of the Society for Vascular Surgery’s Patient Safety Organization and used linked registry claims data”

^Publication Summary from BMJ: Use of linked registry claims data for long term surveillance of devices after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: observational surveillance study2
The published study set out to evaluate long term outcomes (reintervention and late
rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm) of aortic endografts in real world practice using
linked registry claims data.

Legal Information:
AFX2 Endovascular AAA System
INDICATIONS FOR USE (US): The Endologix® AFX®2 Endovascular AAA System is indicated for endovascular treatment in patients with AAA using a surgical vascular access technique or a bilateral percutaneous technique. The devices are indicated for patients with suitable aneurysm morphology for endovascular repair, including: Adequate iliac/femoral access compatible with the required delivery systems (diameter ≥ 6.5 mm); Non-aneurysmal aortic neck between the renal arteries and the aneurysm: with a length of ≥ 15 mm; with a diameter of ≥ 18 mm and ≤ 32 mm; with a neck angle of ≤ 60° to the body of the aneurysm. Aortic length ≥ 1.0 cm longer than the body portion of the chosen bifurcated model. Common iliac artery distal fixation site: with a distal fixation length of ≥ 15 mm; with ability to preserve at least one hypogastric artery; with a diameter of ≥ 10 mm and ≤ 23 mm; with an iliac angle of ≤ 90° to the aortic bifurcation. Extension stent grafts must have the ability to overlap the bifurcated stent graft by at least 30 to 40 mm proximally and at least 15 to 20 mm distally.
