The AnacondaTM is a modular bifurcated stent-graft of woven polyester and nitinol ring stents that has been commercially available since 2005. It was the first truly repositionable stent-graft and features a magnet wire contralateral limb cannulation system. It has excellent fixation and sealing properties and its ring stent construction results in it being highly conformable and therefore applicable in angulated and tortuous anatomy.
