Endovascular Stent Graft

Vascular Surgery Interventional

Typical Use

Exclude aneurysms and repair vessel wall defects via endovascular approach.

Description

A composite device combining a stent framework with a fabric graft that is delivered endovascularly to exclude aneurysmal sacs or seal vessel wall injuries, providing a minimally invasive alternative to open surgical repair for selected aortic and peripheral aneurysms. Stent graft planning requires precise imaging for sizing, attention to landing zones, and consideration of branch vessel preservation, with intraoperative imaging guiding deployment and adjunctive maneuvers. Postdeployment surveillance for endoleak, migration, and graft integrity is essential, and device selection and patient anatomy determine long term durability and need for secondary interventions.
