Endologix Inc. announced one-year results from the LUCY (Evaluation of FemaLes who are Underrepresented Candidates for Abdominal Aortic AneurYsm Repair) registry at the 2018 Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) Annual Meeting, June 21-23 in Boston. The LUCY study is the first to prospectively evaluate endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) outcomes in women who have more complex aortic anatomy and, subsequently, have worse reported outcomes than men undergoing EVAR. The results of the LUCY one-year data expand on the 30-day results presented last year, showing that at least 28 percent more women are eligible for minimally-invasive EVAR when using the Ovation Abdominal Stent Graft System than when using other EVAR systems.

New research published in Experimental Physiology has indicated potential differences in heart health benefits of exercise intensity in teenagers. Teenage years are an important stage of life, with research suggesting it is a time during which heart diseases start to develop. These findings indicate that teenagers who participate in high intensity exercise have lower blood pressure. This may lead to a lower risk of developing heart disease later in life, but this requires confirmation with further research.
