Recognition, context, and distinction
What does it do, and where will I see it?
Use & procedural context
Used for endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm, dissection, rupture, and selected traumatic or other aortic pathology in EVAR or TEVAR.
What most clearly distinguishes it from similar devices?
Key distinctions
An aortic stent-graft is a modular reconstructive system with main-body and limb components, not simply a focal covered stent placed across a short lesion.
