Post-Approval Trial of the Talent™ Abdominal Stent Graft to Treat Aortic Aneurysms

The Talent Abdominal Stent Graft System is a next-generation modular system for endovascular repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA). The system was designed with the following enhancements: a suprarenal wire frame to provide migration resistance, and improved flexibility designed to treat difficult anatomies. Medtronic Vascular submitted a Pre-Market Application (PMA) to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on October 17, 2007, and received market approval for the Talent Abdominal Stent Graft System on April 15th, 2008. As a condition of approval, the FDA has requested a post-approval study. Medtronic has therefore designed a post-approval study, in collaboration with FDA, to document the performance of the Talent Abdominal Stent Graft System under market conditions.
