<p>A stent graft assembly comprises a graft of flexible material supported by a stent frame that is configured to be deformable between an expanded state and a radially collapsed state. The graft of flexible material has the shape of a tube that is curved along a longitudinal axis of the tube when the graft is in an expanded, undeformed state. The stent graft assembly is deformable into a state in which the graft is deformed into the shape of a tube that is straight. The stent graft assembly may be designed for treatment of a thoracic aorta aneurysm.</p> |
