TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, Dec. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
InspireMD, Inc. (NYSE AMER: NSPR), a leader in embolic prevention systems (EPS) / thrombus management technologies and neurovascular devices, today announced that Professor Ralf Kolvenbach, head of the Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy Department, and Medical Director of the Catholic Hospital, Düsseldorf, Germany, presented the preliminary results of a 50 patient study at the 7th Munich Vascular Conference, which demonstrated improved outcomes using CGuard™ EPS versus carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
Key highlights of this preliminary study include:
· The gold standard more invasive CEA surgical procedure did not show any clinical benefit versus CGuard™ EPS
· Cranial nerve injury was significantly lower in patients with CGuard™ EPS versus patients undergoing CEA
· Hospital discharge was faster in the CGuard™ EPS group compared to CEA
In contrast to conventional stents, CGuard™ EPS has been designed to deliver post-procedural long-term protection for treatment of carotid lesions. The transcervical carotid stenting (T-CAR ) method was used in the CGuard™ EPS group, and is a less invasive method than CEA. TCAR is a method used by many vascular surgeons to facilitate direct stent implantation into the carotid artery.
Professor Kolvenbach commented, “I am very pleased with the preliminary results in this study. Our goal is to demonstrate with long term data that the CGuard™ EPS when implanted with the TCAR method will continue to perform as it did in this preliminary cohort of patients and ultimately show better results to CEA.”
50 consecutive symptomatic patients were evaluated. In one study group, 31 patients were treated with CGuard™ EPS using the TCAR method, and in the other group 19 patients were treated with CEA. The study did not find advantages for CEA in clinical endpoints or in DW-MRI postprocedural images, while cranial nerve injury was significantly more frequent in the CEA group compared to the CGuard™ EPS group. Hospital discharge in the CGuard™ EPS group was an average of 1.5 days earlier compared to CEA.
James Barry, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of InspireMD, commented, “The results of this trial further demonstrate the effectiveness of our technology. These results continue to support the protective role of CGuard™ EPS in the treatment of carotid artery disease.”
The 7th Munich Vascular Conference (MAC), held on December 7-9, 2017, is a platform for mutual exchange between vascular clinicians from all vascular medical specialties and colleagues from translational and basic research. The 7th MAC addresses aortic, carotid, venous and peripheral arterial diseases, featuring the latest advances in clinical and translational vascular research, including the newest open and endovascular technologies, biological mechanisms of atherosclerosis and the latest imaging modalities.
