The first commercial use of the Valiant Navion stent graft system for endovascular repair of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm.

CONCLUSIONS: Design enhancements such as a lower profile delivery system, better conformability, and a shorter tapered tip are some of the improvements to this third-generation TEVAR device. Coupled with the multiple configuration options available, this gives physicians a better tool to treat thoracic aortic pathologies in patients with challenging anatomy. The early results are encouraging, and evaluation of long-term outcomes will continue. PMID: 33345716 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
