                THORACO-

                ABDOMINAL BRANCH
                GRAFT



                A four-vessel branched endo-
                grafts, for endovascular treat-
                ment of thoraco-abdominal
                aneurysms.  The branches are
                intended to bridge celiac axis,

                SMA, and bilateral renal arter-
                ies by covered stents, usually
                from above (brachial or axillary
                access), or transfemoral using a
                steerable sheath.  The “waist” in
                the middle is to allow blood flow
                into the visceral arteries before
                cannulation.
