Zenith Alpha™ Abdominal Endovascular Graft
An Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Stent Graft system.
Most devices are nitinol-stent based with a modular three-piece design. The stent graft comes in
different diameters and lengths to match anatomy, and a bare stent above the renal arteries. This
one comes with a 18Fr (6mm diameter) delivery system. The main bifurcated body is deployed
first. The shorter limb or “gate” is then cannulated and an appropriate sized extension is placed on
the contralateral side. The endovascular repair is completed by placing the third ipsilateral llmb.
