Vascular Solutions releases catheter for endovascular AAA repair

Vascular Solutions has released its Trespass angiographic catheter, designed for use by interventional radiologists and other physicians performing endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair procedures.

The Minneapolis, Minn.-based company said its Trespass angiographic catheter combines an angled tip design to facilitate guidewire delivery with radiopaque markers for vessel sizing and sideports for high pressure injections. The Trespass is a flush catheter with an angled tip and vessel sizing. The catheter comes in a 5F, 65cm configuration.

The Trespass catheter is intended for use for delivering radiopaque media to selected sites of the vascular system, and for pressure and anatomical measurements and is currently available for sale in the United States, Vascular Solutions said.
