Introduction:
The Ovation stent-graft uncouples the steps of fixation and sealing via a pair of polymer-filled inflatable rings. Apart from the well-documented early results, newer data emerged for mid-term results of Ovation and are presented in this review.
Areas Covered:
Aim of this article was to report all current studies with the mid-term results of the particular endograft, the incidence of complications and failure, and discuss their management.
Expert Commentary:
The Ovation stent-graft exhibits very satisfactory clinical mid-term results in abdominal aortic aneurysms treated within the instructions-for-use. It can also have a very promising role in challenging neck anatomies with conical shape and presence of thrombus or calcification. However, this should be not considered a panacea and long-term results are needed to validate this intriguing aspect.
