We develop, manufacture, sell and market minimally invasive therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Our products, the Powerlink System and PowerWebtm System, are catheter-based alternative treatments for abdominal aortic aneurysm, or AAA. AAA is a weakening of the wall of the aorta, the largest artery of the body. Once AAA develops, it continues to enlarge and if left untreated becomes increasingly susceptible to rupture. The overall patient mortality rate for ruptured AAAs is approximately 75%, making it the 13th leading cause of death in the United States today. The Powerlink System, and its predecessor the PowerWeb System, is a catheter and endoluminal graft, or ELG, system. The self-expanding cobalt chromium alloy stent cage is covered by ePTFE, a common surgical graft material. The Powerlink ELG is implanted in the abdominal aorta, which is accessed through the femoral artery.�����
