Zusammenfassung:A fenestrated aortic cuff is configured to be delivered endovascularly to a target region, deployed, fastened, and sealed to a vessel wall, e.g., in a neck region of an aortic aneurysm. Example fenestrated cuffs provide a suitable landing zone for a commercially available endograft, which may be, in some cases, positioned below or above the renal arteries in order to complete exclusion of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) or a thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), respectively, from systematic circulation. In some cases, fenestrated cuff function is facilitated and improved by employing active fixation and sealing mechanisms, including, e.g., helical fasteners, which may allow deployment of the fenestrated cuff in short neck regions with limited sealing area.
