A systematic approach to further improve stent-graft performance

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is limited by the complicated anatomy of an aortic arch. This study proposed a new stent-graft (SG) design with slits that can positively improve the sealing effect between the aorta and SG while maintaining blood flow to supra-aortic branches. Firstly, a...
