Fenestrated endovascular grafts are the next generation of stent grafts used to repair aortic aneurysms. E-mag, available as a cuff inserted around the fenestration, will enable easier, quicker cannulation of fenestrated endovascular grafts and reduce the health risks associated with prolonged exposure to radiation or contrast agents.
This reversal flow repels platelets, preventing their activation and aggregation on the devicesurface. University of Pittsburgh researchers have developed an innovative self-cleaning porous layer designed to minimize thrombus (blood clot) formation on blood-contacting medical devices. By utilizing the blood's natural flow to create a self-cleaning effect, this porous layer could significantly enhance the safety and longevity of devices such as vascular grafts, stents, and other blood-contacting instruments.
