Summary
Viabahn stent grafts offer a viable treatment for visceral artery injuries, achieving high success rates. However, immediate occlusion and small artery diameter (≤ 4 mm) pose significant risks.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Radiology
- Medical Device Technology
Background:
- Visceral artery injuries, often resulting from iatrogenic causes, trauma, or tumors, carry a high risk of mortality.
- Stent grafts provide a method for rapid exclusion of injured vessels while maintaining organ perfusion.
- The Viabahn stent graft is approved for visceral artery injury treatment exclusively in Japan.
