Aortic Stent Graft

Definition

An aortic stent graft is a medical device used to reinforce and support the weakened wall of the aorta, the largest artery in the body. It is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing a fabric-covered, metal mesh tube (stent) within the affected section of the aorta, preventing it from rupturing or further expanding.
