[The spiral Z-stent with a knit dacron coating in endoluminal therapy of aneurysms of the abdominal aorta].
The authors present their own experience with construction, experimental testing and clinical application of endoluminal grafts. In the first part of the project, a new selfexpandable stentgraft was constructed on the basis of spiral Z stent. Spiral Z stent was covered by ultrathin polyester sleeve. Next, stentgraft was tested on animal model of abdominal aortic aneurysm. On the basis of experimental results endoluminal grafting of AAA was started in Czech Republic.
