Talent Thoracic Stent Graft with the Captivia Delivery System

The Talent Thoracic Stent Graft has been used internationally to repair thoracic aneurysms in over 20,000 patients.

Talent Thoracic on Captivia

The Talent Thoracic Stent Graft is intended for the endovascular repair of fusiform aneurysms and saccular aneurysms/penetrating ulcers of the descending thoracic aorta. When placed within the target lesion, the stent graft provides an alternative conduit for blood flow within the patient’s vasculature by excluding the lesion from blood flow and pressure.

→  The greatest resistance to collapse for enhanced patency1,2
→  The highest overall radial force of any thoracic stent graft2
→  No reported collapse in more than 20,000 implants worldwide in the first 6 years of experience.3

Important Safety Information
The long-term safety and effectiveness of this implant have not been established. All patients with endovascular aneurysm repair must undergo periodic imaging to evaluate the stent graft and aneurysm size. Significant aneurysm enlargement (>5 mm), the appearance of a new endoleak, or migration resulting in an inadequate seal zone should prompt further investigation and may indicate the need for additional intervention or surgical conversion.
