Fenestrated and Branched Stent Grafts

Perspectives in Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, 2008
It is estimated that 50% of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms are not candidates for endovascular repair using the currently commercially available devices because of unfavorable anatomy. This includes patients with short or angulated necks, aneurysmal extension into either internal iliac artery, or complex aneurysmal involvement of the ...

Evaluation of Bypass Grafts and Stents

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2010
Although conventional coronary angiography is used to evaluate the patency of coronary artery bypass grafts, it is invasive and has associated risks. The evolution of the multidetector CT (MDCT) has enabled accurate, noninvasive visualization of graft patency.

Development of endovascular stent-grafts

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 2007
The very first experiences in the early 1990s with endovascular aortic stent-grafts were associated with significant numbers of complications including an inability to deploy the stent-graft, conversion to open surgery, and aneurysm rupture. By the mid-1990s, improved home-made and commercially available stent-grafts started to appear.

[Stenting and stent-grafting of the aorta].

Therapeutische Umschau. Revue therapeutique, 2003
The therapeutical approach to diseases of the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta has dramatically changed over the last decade due to new stent-graft-based endoluminal techniques. In particular elderly patients with a variety of diseases, such as ruptured and asymptomatic aneurysms, acute B-dissections, acute penetrating ulcers, mycotic aneurysms ...

Stent grafting for aortic dissection

The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1999
We report the successful treatment of a patient with Stanford type B aortic dissection, "thrombosed" type with ulcer-like projections, by insertion of a stent-graft. The false lumen completely disappeared within 1 year after surgery. This maturing procedure is promising in the treatment of thrombosed, aggravated aortic dissection.

Stent-grafts for Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Creation: Specialized TIPS Stent-graft versus Generic Stent-graft/Bare Stent Combination

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2010
To compare functional and anatomic outcomes of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPSs) created with the specialized Viatorr stent versus a Wallstent/Fluency stent combination.Retrospective review of patients who underwent TIPS creation with stent-grafts was conducted over a 54-month period ending in June 2008.

Thoracic Aortic Stent-Grafting

Heart Disease, 2002
The surgical management of thoracic disease has improved steadily over the past 20 years due to advances in diagnostic and surgical techniques. Despite this progress, a less invasive approach to treatment is desirable. Patients with coexisting cardiovascular or pulmonary diseases may not tolerate aortic replacement under general anesthesia ...

Biologic alternatives to stents and grafts

Current Cardiology Reports, 2001
The quest for biologic alternatives to stents and arterial grafts is a source of intense research at the basic and preclinical level. Several new devices and conduits currently under investigation may extend the uses of both stents and grafts beyond their current revascularization role into newer applications in the fields of regional pharmacology and ...
