Aortic endograft (stent-graft)
A tubular or bifurcated prosthesis made of synthetic fabric reinforced with a self-expanding metal frame, crimped within a delivery system.
How it is used
Used in endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR/TEVAR), excluding the aneurysm sac from circulation without the need for open surgery.
Clinical tip
Precise sizing (diameter and length) from prior CT angiography is critical to achieve adequate proximal and distal sealing.
