Aortic stent grafts
Valiant Navion
A non-bioabsorbable tubular device intended to be implanted within the descending thoracic aorta to repair the vessel [includes repair of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), traumatic transsections/dissections, fistulae, penetrating ulcers]; it is not intended for implantation within the aortic arch. It is typically made of a metal alloy [e.g., nickel-titanium alloy (Nitinol)] that forms an outer mesh structure with an inner synthetic polymer tube (endovascular graft) and is typically designed as a single continuous tube which may be used in singular and/or modular configurations. It is intended for percutaneous introduction; disposable delivery device (e.g., balloon catheter) may be included.
