Executive Summary
Guidant is collaborating with Remon Medical Technologies to develop an endovascular graft system that can monitor the pressure inside abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The device, which couples Guidant's Ancure endograft system with Remon's interactive sensor technology, could provide a noninvasive and cost-effective means for surgeons to monitor implant performance, and in particular to check leakage around the endografts.
