About this trial
The FLOWGRAFT post-market clinical follow-up study is undertaken to show the safety and performance of FlowWeave Bioseal, FlowNit Bioseal, FlowLine Bipore and FlowLine Bipore Heparin (combined named as Vascular Grafts) in the treatment of arterial diseases, such as dissection, aneurysm, intramural hematoma (IMH), penetrating aortic ulcer (PAU), contained rupture, stenosis in the aorta or peripheral arteries (lower limbs). This includes the use of FlowWeave Bioseal or FlowNit Bioseal for debranching of the head vessels in an alone standing procedure. Furthermore, it includes the use of the FlowLine Bipore and FlowLine Bipore Heparin Grafts as arterious-venous (AV) shunt.
