PROSTHESIS FOR IMPLANTATION IN AORTA

摘要

Prosthesis (10) for implantation in the ascending aorta comprising a tubular body (17) made of biocompatible graft material, a cuff (13) at the proximal portion (12) of the tubular body for biasing pressure onto a sino-tubular junction and that is configured to conform to the junction. A stent assembly (15) is used to the prosthesis to bias pressure on the wall of a dissection t substantially deflate a false lumen.
