The Advance trial evaluates the Medtronic Endurant II/IIs and the Gore Excluder AAA device family.
Medtronic said in a news release that it expects to enroll 550 patients at up to 50 global centers in the trial. After that, the plan is to randomize patients to receive endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). The EVAR would come from either the Endurant or Excluder families of grafts. Follow-up comes at one month, one year and annually throughout five years.
