Prepackaged collections of the necessary devices and supplies (either custom or standard) designed for delivery of stents intended to treat aorta (including the aortic arch) dissections. Items in these kits usually include the implantable endoprostheses (e.g., stainless steel stents in a variety of lumen diameters and lengths) mounted on balloon catheters that include a compliant section near the distal end appropriate for stent delivery and deployment; ancillary products such as a syringe, biocompatible glue, and saline solution may be also included for use during the stenting procedure. The kits may be supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Aorta dissection vascular stent delivery procedure kits and trays are intended for treating patients with aortic dissection and for whom surgery is indicated. Appropriate delivery kits and trays for treatment of upper aorta (type A) dissections (that may be combined with placement of aorta prostheses during open surgery) and for lower aorta dissections (usually performed percutaneously through the vasculature) are available.
