Covered Stents (Stent Grafts)

• Have a synthetic fabric covering.
• Used in larger arteries, such as the aorta, to treat aneurysms or tears.

Overview

Covered stents, also known as stent grafts, are specialized stents that include a synthetic fabric or membrane covering. They are primarily used to treat aneurysms, tears, and other vascular conditions where additional sealing and reinforcement are needed. The covering helps to prevent blood from leaking through the stent, providing a more robust and secure solution compared to traditional bare-metal or drug-eluting stents.

Attributes

• Material: Typically made from metal (such as stainless steel, nitinol, or cobalt-chromium) with a covering of synthetic fabric (e.g., Dacron or PTFE).
• Design: Mesh-like tubular structure with a fabric covering that seals the vessel wall.
• Usage: Commonly used in large arteries, such as the aorta, to treat aneurysms, dissections, and peripheral artery disease.
• Diameter and Length: Available in various sizes to fit different vessel diameters and lesion lengths.
• Flexibility and Radial Strength: Designed to provide strong support and adaptability to the vessel's contours while preventing blood leakage.
