STENT GRAFT, STENT GRAFT DELIVERY SYSTEM AND KIT AND METHOD FOR IMPLANTING THE STENT GRAFT

摘要

A vascular repair device includes a graft body and a framework having at least two stents connected to the body. The stents can each be respectively connected to graft body adjacent the proximal and distal ends and the support member is shorter than the separation distance therebetween to form a gimbal at least at one end. A first stent is connected along an entirety thereof and a second stent is connected at distal apices thereof. Distal apices of the second stent have radii of curvature smaller than proximal apices. A curved longitudinal member can be connected to the graft body, the member being substantially symmetrical with respect to the centerline. The member can be connected to the graft body independent of the framework. At least one of the member ends can have a curved extremity. A delivery system and kit and method for implanting the graft are also provided.
