Abstract:
Systems and methods for building a landing zone for an endovascular procedure are described. This procedure is “hybrid” in that it involves both direct access (e.g., sternotomy or partial sternotomy) to the site for installation of the landing zone, as well as endovascular installation of a TAVR or TEVAR device (e.g., stent graft) once the landing zone is installed. The landing zone is installed by wrapping a landing band around a portion of a vessel. The landing band may be selected to be fixed at a diameter so that it inhibits any expansion of the vessel, and also supports a later-installed TAVR or TEVAR device. The TAVR or TEVAR device is then endovascularly delivered to the vessel and deployed therein. The device expands until it contacts the vessel, which is supported from the outside by the landing band, which thus constrains and supports the device from outside.
