Combined AFX2 with thoracic stent graft: A different endovascular approach of an abdominal aorta aneurysm
The AFX2 endovascular repair system is a unibody, bifurcated stent graft that can be used in an abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with anatomical challenges, especially if it is combined with different aortic cuffs. The use of an AFX2 main body combined with a thoracic stent graft as a proximal a...

| description | The AFX2 endovascular repair system is a unibody, bifurcated stent graft that can be used in an abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with anatomical challenges, especially if it is combined with different aortic cuffs. The use of an AFX2 main body combined with a thoracic stent graft as a proximal aortic cuff was selected to treat a 77-year-old male patient with abdominal aortic aneurysm. The AFX2 endograft combined with a proximal thoracic aortic cuff plays a safe and effective role in treating complex infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm that may otherwise be technically more challenging with the open technique and inaccessible with the traditional endovascular technique. |
