3 Fig 2 A Zenith endograft fixed with four EndoStaples (two of them shown by the white arrows). The black arrows indicate the Kevlar cord attached to the force gauge. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2012 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

4 Fig 3 This Zenith endograft was reinforced with six EndoStaples before the application of displacement force (DF). The endograft was pulled out attached to the torn aortic tissue, proving the failure of the aortic tissue proximal to the fixation zone.
