The EMBRACE study was a multicenter, single-arm retrospective and prospective Registry, conducted to confirm the clinical performance and safety of the VBX Stent Graft for fEVAR and bEVAR in the treatment of aortic aneurysms involving the renal-mesenteric arteries.1

The EXPAND study was a post-market registry, evaluating the safety and performance data of the VBX Stent Graft for fEVAR and bEVAR in peripheral vessels in patients who require interventional treatment.2
