Vascular prosthetic graft device for aorta repair
The patent US12011346B2 describes a vascular prosthetic graft device designed to enhance vascular repair and support. The device consists of two main components, each made from graft material, which are engaged to form a structure featuring a radially outwardly extending shoulder. This shoulder is integral to the device's design, as it accommodates openings for two stent members. The device includes branch components that are positioned within a chamber of the second component, each defining passageways for the stent members. These branch components are secured to the second component using removable fasteners, allowing for flexibility in their positioning within the graft.
The claims further detail the structural features of the graft device, including the tapering of the passageways, which facilitates a smooth transition for the stent members. The design also incorporates wire frame support for at least one of the components, enhancing the overall stability of the graft. Notably, the angles at which the passageways are oriented relative to the main component's longitudinal axis are specified, contributing to the device's adaptability in various vascular applications. The patent outlines the specific configurations of the fasteners and the unique shapes of the shoulder in both deployed and undeployed states, emphasizing the innovative aspects of this vascular graft technology.
