Anatomical Viability of the “Hector Multibranched Thoracic Stent-Graft System” and Connecting Stent for Endovascular Aortic Arch Repair

The Hector Stent Graft system coupled with commercially available bridging stents for supra-aortic trunks proved to be feasible for more than two-thirds of patients previously subjected to an endovascular treatment for aortic arch pathologies. The left common carotid artery bridging stent was suitable for all patients, while the one for the left subclavian artery was adequate for 9 out of 10 cases.Clinical ImpactThe Hector™ Stent Graft system shows high anatomical feasibility for endovascular aortic arch repair, with broad applicability using limited configurations. Its design may help minimize supra-aortic-trunks manipulation and facilitate safer, more streamlined procedures to treat the aortic arch pathologies in a complete endovascular fashion.
