The semibranch is a new tool to treat thoracoabdominal as well para- and juxtarenal aortic pathologies. Due to its reduced length, packaging density can be higher and diameter of the stentgraft can be larger. It closes the gap in pathologies where fenestration are not suitable (kinked aortas) and there is not enough space for standard inner branches (small diameters).
