Ankura TAA Stent Graft System is indicated for endovascular repair of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms or thoracic aortic dissection.
· The top bare stent allows for deployment across the LSA or LCCA without occluding the blood flow, providing the extended proximal landing zone.
· The tip capture mechanism provides precise placement and well-controlled deployment.
· The proximal mini wave enhances the apposition to the aortic wall to decrease the risk of endoleak and migration.
· The self-expanding nitinol stent offers stable radial force.
· The asymmetric waves design helps the stent graft to conform to the natural curvature of thoracic aorta to reduce the possibility of kinking.
· Longitudinal supporting strut on the greater curvature avoids stent shortening, providing axial support.
· No suture on the main body eliminates pinhole leakage (Type IV endoleak).
· PTFE threads surrounding the main body increase the resistance between the stent and the vessel wall to prevent shifting and stent expansion.
· Straight and 4/6/8mm tapered options available for the anatomical diversity of the aorta.
· Kink-resistant delivery system with hydrophilic coating ensures easy access.
