    Agenda: On September 27, 2018, the Committee will discuss, make recommendations, and vote on the premarket approval application sponsored by Sequent Medical, Inc. for the Woven Endobridge (WEB) Aneurysm Embolization System, which is intended to treat wide-neck intracranial aneurysms arising or located at a vessel bifurcation. The WEB device is being evaluated in the WEB Intrasaccular Therapy Study (WEB-IT): a multicenter, prospective, non-randomized investigation.
