Ankura™ TAA Stent Graft System is indicated for endovascular repair of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms or thoracic aortic dissection.
◇ Optimal Proximal Bare Stent
· Allow for deployment across the LSA or LCCA without occluding the blood flow
· Provide extended proximal landing zone
· Less traumatic to the aortic branches
◇ Proximal Sealing and Fixation
· Mini wave-enhanced apposition to the aortic wall
· Decreased endoleak risk
· Migration resistant
◇ Greater Flexibility
· Conform to the natural curvature of thoracic aorta
· Reduce the possibility of kinking
· 4mm, 6mm and 8mm taper available
◇ Unique Design on Springs/Struts
· Self-expanding nitinol stent-radial force fixation
· Longitudinal supporting strut on the greater curvature-avoid stent shortening, provide axial support
◇ Other Strengths
· e-PTFE membrane-excellent biocompatibility and durability
· Kink-resistant delivery system with hydrophilic coating
· No suture on the main body-avoid pinhole leakage (Type IV endoleak)
