Its proximal sealing and fixation mechanism, including the MINI Wave technology, enhances apposition to the aortic wall, reducing the risk of endoleaks and migration. The device’s greater flexibility enables it to conform to the natural curvature of the thoracic aorta, reducing the risk of kinking, with multiple taper options available. Additionally, the Ankura™ Thoracic Stent Graft boasts several other strengths, including self-expanding nitinol stents for radial force fixation, longitudinal supporting struts for axial support, and e-PTFE dual membrane construction for enhanced biocompatibility and durability. Its kink-resistant delivery system with hydrophilic coating further enhances ease of use and procedural success.

Key Features:

Optimal Proximal Bare Stent:

• Allows deployment across the LSA or LCCA without occluding blood flow.
• Provides an extended Proximal Landing Zone.
• Minimizes trauma to the aortic branches.

Proximal Sealing And Fixation:

• MINI Wave technology enhances apposition to the aortic wall.
• Decreases endoleak risk.
• Migration resistant.

Greater Flexibility:

• Conforms to the natural curvature of the thoracic aorta.
• Reduces the possibility of kinking.
• Available in 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm taper options.

Other Strengths:

• Self-expanding Nitinol stent provides radial force fixation.
• No suture on the main body avoids pinhole leakage (Type IV endoleak).
• Longitudinal supporting strut on the greater curvature prevents stent shortening, providing axial support.
• e-PTFE Dual Membrane ensures excellent biocompatibility and durability.
• Kink-resistant delivery system with Hydrophilic Coating.
