Hospital Conducts First Commercial Altura Endovascular Stent Graft Procedure

February 4, 2016

The first commercial procedure using the new Altura endovascular stent graft took place on Wednesday at University Hospital of South Manchester in the UK, according to Lombard Medical.

The hospital is a major endovascular repair center within the National Health System servicing more than 180 EVAR patients annually.

“With the official launch last week at the Leipzig Interventional Course, we are looking to build on the physician interest and excitement surrounding Altura and expand our launch in the UK and German markets,” said Lombard CEO Simon Hubbert. — Jonathon Shacat
