Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Operating Segment	Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Operating Segment (a) Description of Business Endologix, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation with corporate headquarters in Irvine, California and production facilities located in Irvine, California and Santa Rosa, California. The Company develops, manufactures, markets, and sells innovative medical devices for the treatment of aortic disorders. The Company's products are intended for the minimally invasive endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms ("AAA"). The Company's AAA products include innovations for minimally-invasive endovascular aneurysm repair ("EVAR") or endovascular aneurysm sealing (“EVAS”), the Company's innovative solution for sealing the aneurysm sac while maintaining blood flow through two blood flow lumens. The Company's current EVAR products include the Ovation® Abdominal Stent Graft System (“Ovation”), and the AFX® Endovascular AAA System (“AFX”) which features the VELA™ Proximal Endograft System (“VELA”) and the AFX2 Bifurcated Endograft System (“AFX2”). The Company's current EVAS product is the Nellix® EndoVascular Aneurysm Sealing System (“Nellix EVAS System”). Sales of the Company's EVAR and EVAS platforms (including extensions and accessories) to hospitals in the U.S. and Europe, and to third-party international distributors worldwide, provide the sole source of the Company's reported revenue. On February 3, 2016, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of TriVascular Technologies, Inc. (“TriVascular”). The acquisition expanded our product offering and intellectual property, increased our sales force, and enhanced our product development capabilities. The Company’s Ovation products consist of a radiopaque nitinol stent for suprarenal fixation and a low-permeability polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft. The stent is designed with integral anchors to enable fixation to the aortic wall. To seal the graft and to provide support for the aortic body legs into which the iliac limbs are deployed, the graft contains a network of inflatable rings that are filled with a liquid polymer that solidifies during the deployment procedure. The Company's AFX products consist of (i) a cobalt chromium alloy stent covered by polytetrafluoroethylene (commonly referred to as "ePTFE") graft material (“Stent Graft”) and (ii) accompanying delivery systems. Once fixed in its proper position within the abdominal aortic bifurcation, the Company's AFX device provides a conduit for blood flow, thereby relieving pressure within the weakened or “aneurysmal” section of the vessel wall, which greatly reduces the potential for the AAA to rupture. The Company's Nellix EVAS System product consists of (i) bilateral covered stents with endobags, (ii) a biocompatible polymer injected into the endobags to seal the aneurysm and (iii) a delivery system and polymer dispenser. The Company's EVAS product seals the entire aneurysm sac effectively excluding the aneurysm reducing the likelihood of future aneurysm rupture. Additionally, it has the potential to reduce post procedural re-interventions. (b) Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These financial statements include the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company, including its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, there were no related party transactions. The interim financial data as of June 30, 2016 is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. In the opinion of the Company's management, the interim data includes normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. The interim financial data includes the results of TriVascular Technologies, Inc., beginning on February 3, 2016, the date of the acquisition. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016. On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU ") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The FASB agreed to a one-year deferral of the revenue recognition standard's effective date for all entities. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early application is permitted, but not before the original effective date, which would have been January 1, 2017 for the Company. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting. On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs", which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability, similar to the presentation of debt discounts. The ASU was effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" during the first quarter of 2016, utilizing retrospective application as permitted. As a result, the Company reclassified debt issuance costs from other assets to reduce the convertible notes as of December 31, 2015 and as of June 30, 2016. On July 22, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which requires an entity to measure inventory within the scope of the amendment at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” which requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The new guidance also requires that the acquirer record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard and will apply it to provisional amounts related to the TriVascular acquisition. On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and creates Topic 842, “Leases.” The new topic supersedes Topic 840, “Leases,” and increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires disclosures of key information about leasing arrangements. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 mandates a modified retrospective transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of accounting and reporting for share-based payments. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements. (c) Operating Segment The Company has one operating and reporting segment that is focused exclusively on the development, manufacture, marketing, and sale of EVAR and EVAS product for the treatment of aortic disorders. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, all of the Company's revenue and related expenses were solely attributable to these activities. Substantially all of the Company's long-lived assets are located in the U.S.
