title: Endovascular grafts.
abstract: The clinical application of endovascular grafts began with the work of Parodi in 1990, which fused intravascular stent and prosthetic graft technologies. These less invasive devices have been applied to the treatment of arterial aneurysm, long segment occlusive disease, and traumatic vascular injuries. A host of different systems have been developed that exploit the unique properties of balloon, superelastic metal, and vascular graft devices.
