If left untreated, the weakened aortic wall can balloon and potentially rupture.<\/p>\n<p>Aortic aneurysms can be treated through open surgical repair, or through an endovascular (less invasive), life-saving procedure called EVAR (Endovascular Aneurysm Repair).<\/p>\n<p>However, not all aneurysms respond to EVAR, failing to shrink in spite of treatment. This unmet clinical need is significant and can be associated with higher risks of complications, rehospitalization, increased costs, and increased mortality.<\/p>\n<p>Shape Memory Medical is dedicated to patients and physicians by developing new aortic restorative therapies using our novel smart polymer technology through various clinical studies.[\/vc_text_element][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/5&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_image_element image=&#8221;2107&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; preloader=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; max_width=&#8221;418&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section nav_skin=&#8221;light&#8221;][vc_row content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; nav_skin=&#8221;light&#8221; consent_include=&#8221;include&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;true&#8221; custom_bg_color=&#8221;{&#8220;solid&#8220;:{&#8220;id&#8220;:&#8220;&#8220;,&#8220;color&#8220;:&#8220;&#8220;}}&#8221;][vc_column el_design=&#8221;{&#8220;desktop&#8220;:{&#8220;padding-top&#8220;:&#8220;15&#8220;,&#8220;padding-right&#8220;:&#8220;15&#8220;,&#8220;padding-bottom&#8220;:&#8220;15&#8220;,&#8220;padding-left&#8220;:&#8220;15&#8220;}}&#8221; width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; custom_bg_color=&#8221;{&#8220;solid&#8220;:{&#8220;id&#8220;:&#8220;&#8220;,&#8220;color&#8220;:&#8220;&#8220;}}&#8221;][vc_text_element css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; color=&#8221;{&#8220;id&#8220;:&#8220;Main accent color&#8220;,&#8220;color&#8220;:&#8220;#2a327e&#8220;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>AAA-SHAPE Safety &amp; Early Feasibility Studies<\/h4>\n<p>AAA-SHAPE FIH is the first prospective clinical trial to evaluate IMPEDE-FX RapidFill in AAA patients and its potential to remodel the AAA sac and improve aneurysm sac regression following EVAR.

This novel technology is comprised of shape memory polymer, a porous polyurethane scaffold that supports rapid conversion to organized thrombus, that Professor Holden reports could lead to sac shrinkage. Schermerhorn also highlighted the need for evidence from a randomized clinical trial and announced the initiation of the AAA-SHAPE Pivotal Trial.[\/vc_text_element][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_width=&#8221;&#8221; gap=&#8221;15&#8243; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; nav_skin=&#8221;light&#8221; consent_include=&#8221;include&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;true&#8221; el_design=&#8221;{&#8220;desktop&#8220;:{&#8220;margin-bottom&#8220;:&#8220;40&#8220;}}&#8221; custom_bg_color=&#8221;{&#8220;solid&#8220;:{&#8220;id&#8220;:&#8220;Light background&#8220;,&#8220;color&#8220;:&#8220;#cae2f1&#8220;}}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_scape_video_player style=&#8221;default&#8221; skin=&#8221;dark_color&#8221; hover=&#8221;&#8221; radius=&#8221;4&#8243; media=&#8221;vimeo&#8221; vimeo=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/902088641&#8243; poster=&#8221;1578&#8243; lazy=&#8221;1&#8243; preloader=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; button_color=&#8221;{&#8220;solid&#8220;:{&#8220;id&#8220;:&#8220;Main accent color&#8220;,&#8220;color&#8220;:&#8220;#2a327e&#8220;}}&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_text_element css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;]<strong>Active sac management represents a \u201cstep forward\u201d for EVAR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jan\u00a0Heyligers,\u00a0MD, PhD, &amp; Michel Reijnen, MD, PhD \u2013 VEITH Symposium 2023<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite significant technological improvements since its inception, endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is still associated with some of the same problems we experienced nearly 30 years ago,&#8221; Michel Reijnen (Arnhem, The Netherlands) remarked at the VEITHsymposium 2023 (14\u201318 November, New York, USA). One of these issues\u2014and a significant unmet need in the aortic field\u2014is the failure of an AAA to regress post-endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).[\/vc_text_element][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_width=&#8221;&#8221;
