We harvested 2.0-gram polymer slices out of each of them and tested the samples in an in vitro implantation replication that included wet and dry exposures. During the wet phase, we placed samples in a beaker with saline, mimicking the filling of the endobags during implantation. An exposure to a 37\u00b0C environment with 60% humidity during the dry phase replicated the postimplantation conditions inside the aneurysmal sac.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Iatrogenic defects affected 16 (76%) metal stents and 20 (95%) endobags. The polymer was disintegrated owing to degradation in 15 (71%) cases. The polymer could lose more than 70% of its initial weight when partially dehydrated and regain 80% when placed in saline. We observed volume decrease and polymer fragmentation during these study phases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The polymer can lose weight and volume while it dehydrates. This structural degradation of the polymer could lead to the development of endoleaks and\/or migration of the device.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical Impact<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Based on the results of previous investigations, due to possible endovascular device degradation, patients with endografts should be offered life-long surveillance, and the Nellix device is no exception. Herein we suggest polymer degradation as one of the possible reasons for the device failure. Although Nellix has been withdrawn from the market, there are numerous patients with this type of endograft. Due to its unpredictable performance in the medium and long term, these patients should be recommended enhanced life-long surveillance every 6 months. Any suspicious conditions during the follow-up must be taken seriously and explantation should be considered.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15266028241274736","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,27]],"date-time":"2024-08-27T03:30:48Z","timestamp":1724729448000},"page":"981-988","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Nellix Device Failure Mechanisms Analysis on Explanted Grafts"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"L\u00e9na","family":"Christ","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"GEPROMED, Strasbourg, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salom\u00e9","family":"Kuntz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GEPROMED, Strasbourg, France"},{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Kidney Transplantation and Innovation, University Hospital of Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2233-9606","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Damir","family":"Vakhitov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GEPROMED, Strasbourg, France"},{"name":"Vascular Centre, Tampere University Hospital, Tampere, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laurent","family":"Raibaut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biometals and Biological Chemistry group, Institut de Chimie, UMR 7177, CNRS, University of Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6630-4064","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicole","family":"Neumann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GEPROMED, Strasbourg, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric","family":"Heim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GEPROMED, Strasbourg, France"},{"name":"Laboratory of Textile Physics and Mechanics, Universit\u00e9 de Haute-Alsace, Mulhouse, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nabil","family":"Chakf\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GEPROMED, Strasbourg, France"},{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Kidney Transplantation and Innovation, University Hospital of Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Lejay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GEPROMED, Strasbourg, France"},{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Kidney Transplantation and Innovation, University Hospital of Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/ejvs.1998.0674"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1078-5884(03)00341-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/152660280100800303"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2022.03.010"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.23736\/S0026-4733.19.08199-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa0909499"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1583\/1074-6218(1996)003<0124b:>2.0.CO;2"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/152660289700400207"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21037\/cdt.2017.08.06"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2017.07.126"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2019.05.025"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2015.03.031"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2018.01.031"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2018.06.031"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2019.04.482"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_17_2","unstructured":"Updated instructions for use for the Nellix Endovascular Aneurysm Sealing System Endologix.
