摘要:
A prosthesis, introducer device and a method for repair of an aorticaneurysm which is positioned at least partially in the ascending aorta. Theprosthesis has a proximal end and a distal end and is formed from abiocompatible material, the proximal end is adapted to be surgically fastenedadjacent and around the aortic heart valve of a patient and the distal end isadapted to extend into the descending aorta. The distal end has a distallyextending exposed self-expanding stent. The introducer device can bedeployed through an incision in the thoracic arch and extend down thedescending aorta to place the distal end of the prosthesis first and thenremoved so that the proximal end of the prosthesis can be sutured in placearound the aortic heart valve.
