TRIVASCULAR
is committed to developing new medical devices that address unmet
clinical needs while providing an excellent working environment
for its employees. The company was founded by Michael
Chobotov, Ph.D., Robert Whirley, Ph.D., and Joseph Humphrey, Ph.D.
TriVascular is located 50 miles north of San Francisco in the heart of the Sonoma
Wine Country. TriVascular offers excellent career
opportunities, benefits and quality of life to its employees.
TRIVASCULAR’s first products are next-generation transluminally
placed endovascular grafts, often referred to as stent-grafts, for
the treatment of aneurysmal disease in the abdominal aorta (AAA)
and the thoracic aorta (TAA). Such endovascular procedures can lead
to substantially lower mortality, morbidity, and cost compared to
open surgical repair. TriVascular has developed a
novel device design that achieves a low profile, permitting substantially
improved access through
the
vasculature.
TRIVASCULAR's stent-grafts are designed to work like a small pipeline
inserted inside an artery, relieving pressure from the diseased
artery walls. The implant can easily be inserted with a catheter,
a procedure aimed to reduce the risks and complications of the more
invasive surgeries used today to treat AAAs.
