Stent-Graft Prosthesis System and Delivery Method
Summary
USPTO published Swiss Capital Engineering AG's patent application for a stent-graft prosthesis system with improved delivery mechanism. The invention includes a main body with lateral side branches and a guiding element for navigation to branch vessels. The system features textile threads with radiopaque markers for enhanced procedural visualization.
What changed
USPTO published patent application US20260096876A1 filed by Swiss Capital Engineering AG covering a stent-graft prosthesis system and delivery method. The application claims a main body with at least one lateral side branch, an orifice element for receiving a guiding element, and an overlap region for interconnection. The guiding element may be a textile or suture thread with radiopaque markers including fiducial or elongate markers.
Medical device manufacturers developing endovascular prostheses should monitor this application for potential licensing needs or to assess freedom-to-operate. The claimed delivery system with radiopaque-guided navigation may represent a competitive advancement in branched vessel procedures.
What to do next
- Monitor for patent grant and potential licensing opportunities
- Review claims for freedom-to-operate analysis

Abstract
The present application discloses a stent-graft prosthesis and a method for navigating such stent-graft prosthesis e.g. to a branch vessel. A first stent-graft prosthesis may include a main body and at least one lateral side branch connected to the main body. A further stent-graft prosthesis according to examples has a body having a generally tubular wall structure, the wall structure of the further stent-graft prosthesis including an orifice element (610) for receiving a guiding element (10). Preferably the wall structure has an overlap region (630) for interconnection, e.g. to the first stent-graft prosthesis. The orifice element (610) is then arranged at said overlap region, wherein said overlap region is preferably arranged at a proximal end region of said body. The guiding element (10) preferably is a textile thread or suture thread, optionally with a radiopaque marker, such as a fiducial marker and/or a radiopaque elongate marker extending at least along a portion of a length of said guiding element (10).
