Endurant ® stent graft: A new-generation device for complex endovascular aortic aneurysm repair

Endurant ® stent graft is a new-generation device developed with the aim of expanding the indications for endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. The wide use of Endurant stent graft in clinical practice in Europe and in the rest of the world, and its first encouraging results in patients with complex aortic anatomy proves the fact that vascular surgeons are empowered by endovascular techniques to better serve the patient with abdominal aortic aneurysm; this supports the idea that the continuous development of the materials in the endovascular field could establish the disappearement of open vascular surgeons in favour of a new-generation vascular specialist. © 2012 Future Medicine Ltd.
