Description:

This study is a multi-center prospective, open label, non-randomized investigation of INCRAFT™ in subjects with abdominal aortic aneurysms. The study will enroll up to 60 subjects at 7 sites in Germany and Italy. All treated subjects will be evaluated at 1 month, 3 months (if applicable), 6 and 12 months, and annually for a total of 5 years post-procedure. An interim analysis will be conducted after the 25th enrolled subject reaches the 30-day follow up visit

24. Subject has known or suspected active infection at the time of the index procedure (for ex. Pneumonia, acute virus infection, contaminated wounds etc)

25. Subject is currently taking systemic immunosuppressant therapy

26. Subject had a major surgical procedure within 30 days prior to procedure or planned within 30 days post procedure

27. Subject has a life expectancy less than 2 years

28. Subject is currently participating in another research study involving an investigational device or new drug

29. Other medical, social, or psychological issues that in the opinion of the investigator preclude them from receiving this treatment, and the procedures and evaluations pre- and post-treatment

30. Subject with an existing AAA surgical graft and/or a AAA stent-graft system
