Abstract:Fig 2). Thirty-one different institutions purchased CMDs, with the absolute number of devices purchased per institution ranging from 3 to 194. Conclusions: The overall rates of both fenestrated and branched thoracoabdominal stent grafts have significantly increased between 2010 and 2016. Whereas this data set is limited to one manufacturer, it provides an important snapshot into the use of custom medical devices in advanced aortic repair in Canada.
