Executive Summary
Cook Medical recently introduced to Shanghai's major hospitals its innovative aneurysm therapy technique for the surgical treatment of thoracic aorta aneurysms. By inserting a special vascular stent into an aneurysm, the minimally invasive intervention methodology can increase the stability of the surgery. Cook Medical has conducted clinical trials of the technique in German hospitals and results show the therapy can effectively reduce the rate of blood vessel rupture, lowering patient death incidence. At present, China has about 100,000 thoracic aorta aneurysm patients, of whom fewer than 100 get treated. (Click here for more - Chinese Language)
