The Cook ZFEN+ IDE is approved by the FDA to start trial. Finally a tailored, patient specific fenestrated stent-graft to repair complex aortic aneurysms with more sealing, less compromise on vessel incorporation. It will expand indications of EVAR significantly!

I agree 💯💯💯

AAA sac enlargement. The bane of our existence.Lower survival from non aortic causes. Let’s solve this issue! #evar , #AAA #fbevar #taaa #aortic

Honored to be new member @ Texas Surgical Society. Thank you for ‘James E. Thompson Award’ for best paper! Grateful to maintain excellence in 573 consecutive #fbevar #taaa UTHealth Houston and Mayo Clinic despite more extensive anatomy and sicker patients. Overall mortality of 1%
