Executive Summary
Extending the market of its EndoSure pressure-measuring system beyond use in aortic aneurysm repair, CardioMEMS has gained US clearance to also use the wireless product during thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) repair. The device, designed to measure vital medical parameters such as mean pressure, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, heart rate and cardiac output, is comprised of an implanted sensor and an external electronics module. The EndoSure sensor is inserted during the minimally-invasive cardiovascular repair of an aneurysm via a catheter into the aneurysm sac, where it measures and communicates pressure information to an external electronics module. The information is processed in real time and displayed as a pressure waveform, according to the Atlanta, Georgia firm.
