Low profile,
Fast deployment
2 part device.
What is missing?
No possibility of repositioning and the feeling that "I shot an arrow in the air, It came to ground I know not where" were inextricable features of the original Gore Excluder. Tricks were developed to overcome some shortcomings in the deployment sequence with slow deployment and angled guidewires helping but what we needed was controlled top end deployment and the ability to reposition the part deployed device.
This has been delivered with the C3 delivery system. Still the same graft with ultra low migration and limb occlusion rates but no longer the terror moment when you pull the string!
A timely reworking of a great EVAR device
