Abstract: An endovascular apparatus is provided for treating the effects of vascular disease including aneurysms and arterial blockages using a percutaneous, minimally invasive technique. In one embodiment the endovascular apparatus includes a tubular sleeve having a cranial end, a first caudal branch, and a second caudal branch such that the tubular sleeve is shaped like an upside down “Y.” The apparatus further includes at least one expandable attachment device attached to the tubular sleeve for securing the endovascular apparatus to an interior wall of a vessel. The at least one expandable attachment device includes a plurality of telescoping segments similar to the telescoping segments of a presentation pointer. Accordingly, during percutaneous insertion of the endovascular apparatus into a patient the attachment device can be collapsed into a small profile.

Abstract: Disclosed is a brace for management of an injured part of an anatomical structure. The brace comprises a proximal part extending from a proximal joint end towards a proximal free end along a proximal axis. The brace comprises a proximal fixation configured for supporting a proximal anatomical structure. The proximal part at the proximal joint end interacting via a brace joint with a distal part extending from a distal joint end towards an opposite a distal free end along a distal axis. The proximal part and the distal part are operatively connected via the brace joint. Also disclosed is a brace and a method of measuring a threshold injury force on an anatomical structure.

Once positioned at the site of the aneurysm the telescoping attachment device can be expanded to hold the endovascular apparatus in place.
