EndoAnchor Placement in Thoracic and Thoracoabdominal Stent-Grafts to Repair Complications of Nonalignment

Abstract

Although the number of patients treated so far is small, the Heli-FX Aortic Securement System seems to be a feasible and safe treatment option for primary or secondary procedures in patients with complications of proximal or distal thoracic stent-graft nonalignment. However, extensive endovascular interventions in the proximal aortic arch should be performed with caution because of an increased risk of severe embolic events.
