Endovascular Repair of an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
A stent graft is sent along the catheter to the aneurysm. The stent graft is a tube made of a thin metal mesh (the stent), covered with a thin polyester fabric (the graft). The tube is collapsed so it is narrow and can fit through your blood vessel. When the stent graft reaches the aorta, it is opened up and fastened in place.
