Abstract
A variable zone high metal to vessel ratio stent includes a proximal high metal to vessel ratio zone, a central low metal to vessel ratio zone, and a distal high metal to vessel ratio zone. The proximal high metal to vessel ratio zone is deployed with fixation and sealing to healthy tissue of a main vessel superior to branch vessels and an aneurysm. The central low metal to vessel ratio zone is deployed directly on ostai of the branch vessels. However, as the central low metal to vessel ratio zone is highly permeable, blood flows from the main vessel through the central low metal to vessel ratio zone and into branch vessels.
