  • STENT GRAFT
    Publication number: 20240164890
    Abstract: Disclosed is a stent graft, including a graft body, a sealing stent at the proximal end of the graft body and completely overlapped by the graft body, and a diameter reducing loop arrangement. The sealing stent includes proximal apices at a proximal end thereof and distal apices at a distal end thereof. The diameter reducing loop arrangement includes a loop element. The loop element includes a first end, a second end, and a strand section from the first end to the second end. The first end is attached to the distal end of the sealing stent. The loop element is configured to pass circumferentially around the distal end of the sealing stent and have a release wire pass through a loop at the second end. The diameter reducing loop arrangement is configured to constrict the distal apices of the sealing stent and cause the sealing stent to adopt a substantially conical or frustoconical shape.
