ExoVasc® Personalised External Aortic Root Support

The ExoVasc® Personalised External Aortic Root Support is a revolutionary new device. It is designed to manage aortic dilation in people with Marfan syndrome and related genetic conditions.

The ExoVasc® is placed around the ascending aorta where it provides support to the patient’s own aorta and aortic valve and is designed to prevent enlargement and rupture.
