Why the study?
To provide a complete description of the Incraft stent graft, its clinical performance, technical characteristics, and a comparison with other competitive endografts.
The Incraft stent graft is an effective ultra low-profile EVAR device for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms, especially in patients with challenging iliac anatomy.
Supports Incraft for hostile iliac anatomy in EVAR; leaves open need for randomized long-term comparisons.
INTRODUCTION: The Incraft aortic stent graft (Cordis, Bridgewater, NJ, USA) is a trimodular endovascular stent graft with a conventional suprarenal active fixation specifically designed to overcome the anatomic limitation of small, stenotic, and tortuous iliac vessels. AREAS COVERED: The present article provides a complete description of the Incraft stent graft, its clinical performance, its technical characteristics as well as a comparison with other competitive endografts. EXPERT OPINION: The Incraft stent graft is an EVAR ultra low-profile device initially designed for overcoming the limitation of the hostile iliac anatomy. Recently, the device is being increasingly used in real-world conditions and not only in complex iliac anatomies with good mid-term results. Whether it remains a useful EVAR toolbox or will become a workhorse endograft is yet to be determined.
