    摘要: An elongate delivery shaft assembly (30) includes an outer covering shaft (38) and an inner support shaft (40). When the delivery shaft assembly (30) is unconstrained and a stent-graft (20) is removably constrained in a radially-compressed delivery state along a distal end portion (34) of the delivery shaft assembly (30), radially between the outer covering shaft (38) and the inner support shaft (40): (a) the delivery shaft assembly (30) is shaped so as to define a self-orienting portion (50), which (i) is shaped so as to define at least proximal and distal curved portions (52A, 52B), the proximal curved portion (52A) disposed more proximal than the distal curved portion (52B), and (ii) at least one point of inflection (53) on a central longitudinal axis (36) of the delivery shaft assembly (30) longitudinally between the proximal and the distal curved portions (52A, 52B), and (b) respective smallest radii of curvature of the proximal and the distal curved portions (52A, 52B), measured at the central longitudinal axis (36), are each between 2.5 and 12 cm.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are described including implanting an aortic pressure-loss-reduction device in a subject's ascending aorta. A frame of the device includes a first set of sinusoidal struts disposed between a downstream end of an upstream anchor and an upstream end of the intermediate portion, the sinusoidal struts being shaped to form a folded portion between the downstream end of the upstream anchor and the upstream end of the intermediate portion. The frame includes a second set of sinusoidal struts disposed between an upstream end of a downstream anchor and a downstream end of the intermediate portion, the sinusoidal struts being shaped to form a folded portion between the upstream end of the downstream anchor and the downstream end of the intermediate portion. Other applications are also described.
