About the Zenith Dissection
It is now conceivable to speak in terms of a "cure" for Type B Aortic Dissections.
The TX2 graft, combined with bare Z-stents down the true lumen, represents a more complete and holistic treatment for dissection.
Treating aortic AND branch vessel compromise (malperfusion): Instead of just deploying a sealing stent graft across the intimal entry tear, the combination of the two devices provides sealing, reinforcement, and branch vessel reperfusion. Important intercostal and mesenteric branches are protected.
Customized treatment: A variety of diameters and lengths of (TX2) sealing grafts provide for adequate closure of the entry tear while not covering any more of the aorta and visceral branches than necessary.
Precision Delivery: Signature Zenith trigger-wire control during deployment for both the TX2 Proximal Component and the bare Dissection Z-stents provides reliable, accurate device deployment in high thoracic aortic flow.
