A method for determining the degree of twist to be manually introduced
into an implant which is to be positioned in the aorta and adjacent iliac
branches so as to achieve an effective degree of twist when the implant
is positioned in the anatomy, the method comprising: identifying the
effective degree of twist desired for the implant; determining the Native
Iliac Rotation of a patient; and subtracting the Native Iliac Rotation of
a patient from the effective degree of twist desired for the implant so
as to determine the degree of twist to be manually introduced into the
implant.
