Abstract
An aortic graft and method for treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms by inserting into the aorta and into the iliac arteries of the patient the graft in a way to exclude the aneurysm from the blood circulatory system, the graft comprising a tubular hollow fabric material including a trunk portion and at least one leg portion capable of being accommodated to any rotation of the graft resulting from the installation of the graft and to any varying ratio between the diameters of an aortic neck and the iliac arteries, the graft being also adapted to different shapes of the aorta, thus diminishing and even avoiding the risks of misplacing the graft inside the aorta. The trunk also includes an inelastic edge to retain a stent in an expanded condition to attach the trunk and the leg portions together.
