From Which Medical Device
This multilayered stent system is a natural evolution of the previous use of uncovered stents in saccular and popliteal aneurysms before the introduction of covered stent grafts. The theory is that the multilayed stent alters the flow dynamics of the blood leading to thrombosis of the sac whilst maintaining patency of any side branches arising from the sac. It is CE marked for peripheral and visceral aneurysms, but has been used in thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms.
