Executive Summary
Valor Medical treats cerebral aneurysms with Neucrylate, which is injected through a microinfusion catheter introduced into the femoral artery of the leg, then passed up through the arterial system into the brain. Neucrylate is slowly delivered to the aneurysm in liquid form via a syringe. Once the product makes contact with blood, it immediately polymerizes into a soft, spongy solid to permanently relieve the blood pressure of the vessel wall of the aneurysm.

The number of products that have been pulled from the market or axed before they reached it exceeds the number of models currently available in the US. But despite these past failures, endovascular aortic procedures have thrived thanks to researchers’ tenacity. At this year's International Congress on Endovascular Interventions, top surgeons discussed a number of new devices and techniques aimed at widening the scope of endovascular aortic repair to a broader range of patients.
