Even though a larger sample size (potentially with division between indications) is needed to have sufficient evidence on the added values of this prosthesis, the case series still supports further investigations on the use of the prosthesis. Early clinical results are promising. Results in a sheep experiment and a small study series indicate that further clinical use is justified. Further long-term follow-up in a larger sample is planned for.Nikolas de Meurechy NW.indd 260 05-06-2024 10:14
