These images (4 days and 3 months)show results of the MARS stent in a patient with a thoraco abdominal aortic aneurysm extending from a previous aortic root repair. Images at 3 months show some thrombosis within the aneurysm and a layer of thrombus/neo-intima? within the stent beginning to exclude the aneurysm. This suggests it may work given time, however the sac is still pressurised at this point.
