Abstract
The Cook Zenith family of devices includes a wide range of custom and off-the-shelf endovascular grafts and devices capable of treating patients with complex anatomy and pathology, including those previously considered unsuitable for endovascular repair. Available devices include the Zenith AAA, Zenith TX2 TAA, Zenith Fenestrated Graft, Iliac Branch Graft, and Helical Branch Graft, and the Zenith Dissection Stent. In addition, low-profile versions of the AAA (abdominal aortic aneurysm) and TAA (thoracic aortic aneurysm) grafts (designed based on a combination of nitinol stent technology and thin-wall graft material) are now available as investigational devices, allowing for endovascular treatment of patients with smaller access vessels. This chapter includes a review of device evolution and a brief review of the literature, which indicates that all commercially available devices are associated with positive clinical outcomes.
