Aortic Aneurysm
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the availability to UK patients of fenestrated endografts, developed in the UK, manufactured in Scotland and used around the world, if the current draft NICE guidelines on Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm are implemented.
- Answer
-
We have made no such assessments. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is an independent body and has not yet published final guidance on the diagnosis and management of abdominal aortic aneurysm. NICE has recently consulted on its draft guideline and will take the comments it has received in response to the consultation fully into account in finalising its recommendations.
