My name is Michael Diselet and I'm really glad to be represented here as I tell my story.
My name is Michael Diselet and I'm really glad to be represented here. I'm an United States Veteran, Air Force. And this is significant because my doctor who works at the VA told me that I was going to need a graft for my AAA.
And he was in the middle of trying to figure out which one he was going to use and your product was one of them.
What you do on your end over there greatly increases the likelihood of success on our end over here.
After hours and hours and hours of researching the subject, because I really didn't know anything about grafts, all I knew was that, I had the AAA. I understand it was an open repair and a EVAR. We elected to go with the EVAR.
Even while I was in the ICU, I noticed an immediate difference in the way my aorta responded to the graft. Originally, my my rhythm through the aorta was like a pounding, and I could sense that eventually that was going to rupture. I just I knew it. But after my EVAR, I noticed that the blood flowed effortlessly through the area.
So thank you for creating an excellent product.
I really don't have any conscious feeling that it's even there. It’s just wonderful to to know that there is a graft inside of me that does not create a condition for me.

Since being successfully treated with our TREO product, Michael is now back on his bike and living normally again, stating “I really don't have any conscious feeling that it's even there.”
“Riding a motorcycle has an inherent risk involved and it’s helped mitigate the risk of the fear it could rupture while I was out riding.”
“I was told I was the first Veteran in the United States to receive your product, and I’m really proud to wear it.”
