Endoluminal Stent–Grafts for Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Abstract

The treatment of aortic aneurysms with endovascular stents or stent–graft prostheses is receiving increasing attention as an alternative to major abdominal surgery. To define the clinical value of this technique, we prospectively studied the use of stent–graft endoprostheses made of nitinol and covered with polyester fabric for the treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms.
