Abstract
The use of conventional graft fabric for the bifurcated Chuter endovas cular graft may result in a kink instability since crimping has been r emoved. Especially in elongated arteries that are frequently found wit h aortic aneurysms this may cause stenosis of the kinked graft and sub sequent thrombosis. Bilateral stabilisation of the graft limbs along i ts total length proved sufficient to stabilise the graft thus preventi ng secondary thrombosis.
