Fig 1 Images of the Zenith TX2 endovascular graft and Zenith Alpha thoracic endovascular graft (proximal component, available as either straight or tapered). The Zenith Alpha thoracic endovascular graft is an investigational device in the United States and is limited by U.S. law to investigational use. It is CE Mark approved only for the indication of endovascular treatment of patients with aneurysms and ulcers in the descending thoracic aorta having vascular morphology suitable for endovascular repair.
