Abstract

The study aims to measure the strength of the proximal fixation of endografts in short and long necks. Three types of endografts were compared: Gore Excluder, Vascutek Anaconda and Medtronic Endurant. The proximal part of the stent grafts was inserted in bovine arteries and the graft was then attached to a tensile testing machine. The force to obtain dislodgement (DF) from the aorta was recorded for each graft at proximal seal lengths of 10 and 15 mm. The median DF (interquartile range, IQR) for the Excluder, the Anaconda and the Endurant with a seal length of 15 mm was: 11.8 (10.5-12.0) N, 20.8 (18.0-30.1) N and 10.7 (10.4-11.3) N. With the shorter proximal seal of 10mm, DF was, respectively: 6.0 (4.5-6.6) N, 17.0 (11.2-36.6) N and 6.4 (6.1-12.0) N. The proximal fixation of the Anaconda is superior to the Excluder and the Endurant at short necks of 10 and 15 mm in an experimental set-up. There is a statistically significant decrease of proximal fixation for the Excluder stent graft, when decreasing the length of the proximal neck from 15 to 10 mm.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
