An abdominal aortic aneurysm stent graft is a fabric tube that reinforces a weak spot in a blood vessel, called an aneurysm
Increased Transmission of Pressure and Serous Componrnts Occur in Porous ePTFE Stent Grafts as Compared to Dacron Stent Grafts
Stent graft treatment reduces intra-aneurysmal pressure to less than 30% of systemic pressure when no endoleak is present; however, significantly greater pressure is present in aneurysms treated with porous ePTFE stent grafts than Dacron grafts. In animals excluded with both Dacron and ePTFE stent grafts, the intra-aneurysmal pressure was non-pulsatile and reduced to less than 30% of systemic pressure with significantly greater pressure present in aneurysms treated with porous ePTFE stent ...
