Nellix Registry Study: EVAS-Global (EVAS FORWARD 2)

June 15, 2026 updated by: Endologix

Multicenter, Observational, Registry to Assess Outcomes of Patients Treated With the CE Marked Nellix® System for Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair"

Multicenter, single arm, open label, registry study with consecutive, eligible patient enrollment at each site. All subjects undergoing the Endovascular Aneurysm Sealing System (EVAS) with the Nellix®-System. Subjects will be followed procedurally to discharge, and as per institutional standard of care thereafter through to 5 years (total follow-up commitment)

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
1
Patients diagnosed with AAA who are considered candidates for Endovascular Repair and meet the study eligibility criteria and sign the Informed consent may be subsequently enrolled in the study.
The Nellix system is comprised of two independent flow channels, one to each iliac artery. Each flow channel consists of a balloon-expanded ePTFE covered stent surrounded by a Polymer-filled EndoBag which fills the blood lumen within the aorta, and seals the aneurysm from side-branch flow.

  • Nellix EVAS FORWARD 2

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of subjects with Immediate Procedural Technical Success
Time Frame: 30 Days
Technical success is defined as successful delivery and deployment of the Nellix System in the planned location.
30 Days
Number of subjects with Aneurysm rupture
Time Frame: 5 years
The number of patients experiencing a rupture of the aneurysm will be summarized at 30 days and within each follow-up window (i.e., six months, and annually at years 1 through 5).
5 years
Number of subjects with Conversion to open surgical repair
Time Frame: 5 years
The number of patients undergoing surgical conversion to open repair will be provided at 30 days and within each follow-up window (i.e., six months, and annually at years 1 through 5).
5 years
Number of subjects with Endoleak of any type
Time Frame: 5 years
The number of patients with any endoleak, and patients with each endoleak type at 30 days and within each follow-up window (i.e., six months, and annually at years 1 through 5) will be summarized.
5 years
Number of subjects with Clinically significant migration
Time Frame: 5 years
The number of patients with clinically significant migration will be summarized descriptively.
5 years
Number of subjects with Aneurysm enlargement
Time Frame: 5 years
The number of patients with Aneurysm enlargement will be summarized descriptively. Sac enlargement is defined in the protocol as increase in late follow-up compared to the initial post-op measurement.
5 years
Number of incidence with Secondary endovascular procedures
Time Frame: 5 years
The overall secondary procedure incidence and the individual component incidence will be provided.
5 years
Safety assessment by Number of subjects with absence of Major Adverse Events (MAEs)
Time Frame: 30 Days
Safety endpoint is measured with the number of subjects who are reported freedom of major adverse events (MAEs) including (1) all-cause death, (2) bowel ischemia, (3) myocardial infarction, (4) paraplegia, (5) renal failure, (6) respiratory failure, (7) stroke, and (8) Blood Loss > 1000mL at 30 Days post index procedure.
30 Days

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of subjects with incidence of device patency and integrity
Time Frame: 5 years
Device patency and integrity will be measured by the number and proportion of patients at 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year to 5 years including Stent Kinking, Lumen Occlusion, and Stent Fracture.
5 years
Number of incidence with Distal Complications
Time Frame: 5 years
The number of incidence of distal thrombosis, embolization and iliac stenosis will be summarized.
5 years
