  • IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
    -- Endologix, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELGX), developer and marketer of
    innovative treatments for aortic disorders, announced today the presentation of positive 3-year clinical data from
    the Ovation European Post Market Registry at the 2017 Leipzig Interventional Course (LINC Symposium) in
    Leipzig, Germany. The results were presented by Patrick Peeters, MD, Chief, Department of Cardiovascular
    Surgery, Imelda Hospital, Bonheiden, Belgium and investigator for the study.
    The Ovation European Post Market Registry included a total of 501 patients, enrolled across 30 European centers
    from May 2011 to December 2013. Through three years of follow-up, key highlights of the study results included:
    Broadest range of patient applicability on IFU of all commercially available infrarenal endovascular AAA devices

    99% freedom from aneurysm-
    related mortality

    99% freedom from migration, rupture, and conversion

    97% freedom from Type I/III endoleak

    Excellent freedom from secondary intervention for occlusion (97%), Type I endoleak (97%) and Type II
    endoleak
    95%
    Professor Dierk Scheinert, MD, study Principal Investigator and Chairman of the LINC Symposium commented,
    "This study confirms the ability of the Ovation platform to successfully treat
    a broad array of patient anatomies
    with
    a high
    rate
    of treatment success and freedom from secondary intervention through mid-term follow-up. We
    are pleased to have revealed these impressive results at our scientific symposium this year."
    John McDermott, Chief Executive Officer of Endologix, said, "The addition of these European results continue to
    validate the excellent clinical results and durability of the ultra-low profile Ovation platform, further confirming
    the recently announced 5-year Ovation IDE study results with real-world commercial data. We would like to
    thank Dr. Scheinert, Dr. Peeters, and all of the investigators for their participation in this important clinical study
    and congratulate them for their outstanding results."

    About Endologix, Inc.
    Endologix, Inc., develops and manufactures minimally invasive treatments for aortic disorders. The Company's
    focus is endovascular stent grafts for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). AAA is a weakening of
    the wall of the aorta, the largest artery in the body, resulting in a balloon-like enlargement. Once AAA develops, it
    continues to enlarge and, if left untreated, becomes increasingly susceptible to rupture. The overall patient
    mortality rate for ruptured AAA is approximately 80%, making it a leading cause of death in the United States.
