Suprarenal stents and other advances in endovascular aneurysm repair

Surg Clin North Am. 2004 Oct;84(5):1319-35, vii. doi: 10.1016/j.suc.2004.05.001.

Abstract

The history of endovascular aneurysm repair has already passed through its phases of "endoexuberance" and "endoscepticism" and there is now a balanced and broad understanding of the technology,its limits and advantages. Current endovascular technique and stent-graft design is the refinement of the accumulated endovascular experience til now. It is important to make note of these technological features incorporated in current stent-grafts and the clinical experience that precipitated their introduction as the technology progresses and new applications are proposed.
