Executive Summary
ENDOVASCULAR TECHNOLOGIES ENDOVASCULAR GRAFTING SYSTEM CLINICALS are expected to recommence before the end of 1995, company President and CEO Jim Fitzsimmons said at a May 16 session of the Alex. Brown & Sons Health Care Seminar in Baltimore. Earlier this year, the privately held company voluntarily suspended two trials following discovery of breaks in the attachment component of the grafting system ("The Gray Sheet" Feb. 27, p. 13). The suspended studies -- a Phase II trial of the EndoGraft tube vascular graft implant and a Phase I study of the bifurcated EndoGraft -- were evaluating the systems in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
