Abstract

The unibody (Powerlink/AFX/AFX2) Endovascular AAA device (Endologix Inc., CA, USA) presents a unique design with its long main body and two innate limbs. The device is designed to be deployed and sits on the native aortoiliac bifurcation and represents the only one-piece bifurcated endograft designed to use anatomical fixation for endograft stabilization. According to published literature, the unibody device seems to represent a valid choice in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms. This particular device would seem to satisfactorily perform even in the treatment of more compressed aneurysms (also in off-label association with parallel grafts) and in occlusive pathologies. Ongoing studies will provide new real-life data in a large and unselected patient population to better understand the device’s advantages and limitations.
