The Incraft stent graft for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms: an iliac-friendly device with an effective conventional proximal sealing mechanism. (2nd January 2022) - Schoretsanitis, Nikolaos
ABSTRACT: Introduction: The Incraft aortic stent graft (Cordis, Bridgewater, NJ, USA) is a trimodular endovascular stent graft with a conventional suprarenal active fixation specifically designed to overcome the anatomic limitation of small, stenotic, and tortuous iliac vessels. Areas covered: The present article provides a complete description of the Incraft stent graft, its clinical performance, its technical characteristics as well as a comparison with other competitive endografts. Expert opinion: The Incraft stent graft is an EVAR ultra low-profile device initially designed for overcoming the limitation of the hostile iliac anatomy. Recently, the device is being increasingly used in real-world conditions and not only in complex iliac anatomies with good mid-term results. Whether it remains a useful EVAR toolbox or will become a workhorse endograft is yet to be determined.
