About Minimally Invasive Endovascular Repair With a Stent Graft

Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA)

An endovascular stent graft is like having a small, metal scaffold inside your aorta. It supports the weak area, so you can get back to living life without worry. If you choose this treatment option, you’ll be joining others with thoracic aortic aneurysm who’ve relied on Medtronic for relief over the past decade.

What Is It?

An endovascular stent graft is a synthetic fabric tube (graft) supported by a metal structure (stent). The stent graft helps to bypass the weakened area of your aorta and keep it from rupturing.

The stent graft is designed so that it can be placed inside the damaged area of your aorta, without surgically opening the blood vessel or removing any tissue.
