Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Balloon-mounted stent lined with graft material (ePTFE). Typical procedural contexts include iliac occlusive disease, aortoiliac reconstruction, and sealing vessel injury or aneurysm.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
This device combines the positional precision of balloon expansion with a graft covering that seals as well as scaffolds, distinguishing it from an uncovered balloon-expandable stent.
