Why I Use pEGASUS™ HPC: Prof. René Chapot – Wallaby Phenox

In this video, Prof. René Chapot, Head of the Department of Radiology and Neuroradiology at Alfried Krupp Krankenhaus in Essen, Germany, discusses his experience using the pEGASUS™ HPC stent from WallabyPhenox for the treatment of intracranial stenosis.

Drawing on 30 years of clinical practice and two decades working in Germany, Prof. Chapot explains the importance of effective revascularisation strategies in patients with high-grade intracranial stenosis, particularly those at risk of acute or recurrent ischaemic stroke.

The case presented focuses on a patient with severe V4 segment stenosis and limited collateral circulation, where timely treatment is essential to prevent vessel occlusion and potential stroke.

Prof. Chapot highlights several advantages of the pEGASUS™ HPC, including its low-profile design, precise deployment, strong vessel conformability, reliable opening in curved anatomy, and stable follow-up results following PTA and stent placement.

The discussion provides valuable insight into the role of laser-cut, open-cell stent technology in complex neurovascular anatomy and why pEGASUS™ HPC has become an important tool in Prof. Chapot’s clinical practice.
