Results for tag: "Branched Stent Grafts"

Branched stent grafts are a type of stent used in endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). They are designed to provide a secure connection between the aorta and the branch vessels, allowing blood to flow freely while preventing aneurysm rupture. Branched stent grafts are typically made of a combination of metal and fabric, and are inserted into the aorta through a catheter. The grafts are designed to expand and conform to the shape of the aorta, providing a secure seal. Branched stent grafts are used to treat a variety of aortic aneurysms, including thoracic, abdominal, and thoracoabdominal aneurysms. They are also used to treat aortic dissections and traumatic aortic injuries. The use of branched stent grafts has been shown to reduce the risk of aneurysm rupture and improve patient outcomes. Some companies in the branched stent grafts market include Medtronic, Cook Medical, Endologix, and W.L. Gore & Associates. Show Less Read more
