Endologix has announced CE mark approval of the current version of the Nellix EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing System for the treatment of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms. 

Nellix is an innovative endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) system designed to simplify endovascular procedures, treat a broader range of patients, and provide enhanced clinical outcomes.

Endologix announced that it is currently implementing a few enhancements to the Nellix system intended to further optimise the device for commercialisation. When complete, the company will submit these enhancements to its Notified Body, with expectations of gaining CE mark approval for the commercial version of the device and beginning a limited market introduction of the enhanced system in Europe by the end of the second quarter 2013.


“Nellix has the potential to treat more abdominal aortic aneurysms patients and get better clinical outcomes than any other device for the endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm. Receiving CE mark for the current version of the system is an important regulatory milestone and we look forward to providing this ground-breaking technology to physicians and their patients in 2013,” said John McDermott, president and CEO, Endologix.


The Nellix system is not approved in the United States for either investigational use or commercial sale.
