HYBRID DEVICE FOR SURGICAL AORTIC REPAIR

An assembly including a deployment device for deploying a stent device (26) into an aorta of a patient is provided. The deployment device (12) includes a rod translatable within an aorta of a patient and a first release wire configured for releasing one or more radially constraining members, wherein the radially constraining members are configured to constrain a diameter of the stent device. The stent device (26) is at least partially permeable and engaged with the deployment device (12) in an initial configuration, wherein a diameter and a length of the stent device (26) in a deployed configuration can be altered by axial translation of the rod and releasing one or more of the radially constraining members by translation of the first release wire.
