The present invention concerns a sheath splitting apparatus for use with a medical device delivery system for deploying a sheathed medical device. The sheath splitting apparatus comprising: a bodyhaving a medical device pathwayfor receiving a medical device, and one or more arm members having one or more guide elementsdefining a sheath pathway for guiding sheath material removed from the sheathed medical device. At least a section of the one or more arm members is movable towards and away from the longitudinal axis of the medical device pathway.

Sheath splitting apparatus

A hybrid endoprosthetic device comprises a stented tubular part and a branched tubular body connected such that a main lumen of the stented tubular part communicates with a main lumen of the branched tubular body. The branched tubular body has multiple branch lumens for connection with natural vessels of the vasculature, and includes at least one branch lumen for access to facilitate delivery and implantation of the hybrid endoprosthetic device by an endovascular step in a hybrid surgical procedure. The hybrid endoprosthetic device is configured to replace a part of the aorta and common iliac artery. A delivery system for use with the device is also disclosed.
