A Standardized Multi-Branched Thoracoabdominal Stent-Graft for Endovascular Aneurysm Repair

Abstract

A standardized, off-the-shelf, multi-branched stent-graft is applicable in 88% of cases of TAAA that would otherwise have been treated using customized stent-grafts. The use of a pre-made stent-graft has the potential to eliminate long manufacturing delays and expand the scope of endovascular repair of TAAA.
