Patent number: 11406518Abstract: A fenestrated graft deployment system, with a delivery catheter having a catheter body, a first fenestration alignment device, and an endoluminal prosthesis having a main graft body having a lumen therethrough and a first opening laterally therein. The first fenestration alignment device is configured to extend through at least a portion of the delivery catheter and is configured to be axially moveable relative to the first guidewire. The first fenestration alignment device can cause the main graft body adjacent to the first opening to move with the end of the first fenestration alignment device to allow an operator to align the first opening in the side of the endoluminal prosthesis with an ostium of a target branch vessel into which said first opening is to extend and act as a guide and seal for a subsequently delivered branch graft endoluminal prosthesis.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2017Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Endologix LLCInventors: Kevin Mayberry, Craig Welk, Richard Monetti

Patent number: 10603196Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to endoluminal prostheses having one or more reinforced fenestrations therein. The one or more reinforced fenestrations can have improved sealing capabilities with respect to branch grafts deployed within the fenestrations, improved tear resistance and expandability, and improved pull-out resistance for branch grafts. In some embodiments, the endoluminal prosthesis can have a main graft body defining a flow lumen therethrough, a first opening passing through a wall of the main graft body, and a first support member supported by the main graft body and overlapping an edge of the first opening, the first support member being configured to at least increase the tear resistance of the main graft body adjacent to the first opening. The support member can be stitched or otherwise attached to the main graft adjacent to the fenestration.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2014Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Endologix, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Mayberry, Daniel Clair, Craig Welk, Stefan G.
