ABSTRACT:
RF power is applied to a circular RF electrode cutting a side opening in a graft material of a main stent-graft in situ. As the side opening is formed by the applied RF power and the associated plasma discharge, the side opening is formed with a minimal application of force to the graft material. Further, the side opening is circular and has a fused edge.
