Single-centre Experience with the New ENDURANT® Stentgraft Device – Pros and Cons

Objectives: To be suitable for patients with challenging anatomy (e.g. aneurysm with an angulated or short neck), the ENDURANT® stentgraft (Medtronic) is equipped with proximal anchoring pins to prevent migration. The flexibility of the graft and application device has also been improved. The stentgraft relies on 30% less radial force and has a short M-shaped proximal sealing stent to enhance its sealing capability. This study was initiated to evaluate the ENDURANT®'s in vivo performance and to discover any associated product and procedure-specific issues.
