Abstract
An apparatus for endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms is disclosed. In one form, the apparatus includes a tube and an anchoring unit that includes a plurality of thin lines. The tube serves as a conduit for blood flow in an aneurysm of an aorta. A first end of the plurality of lines is connected to a first end of the tube. A second end of the plurality of lines is separated by a distance from the first end of the tube for anchoring the apparatus at a location away from the aneurysm.
