Initial results of antegrade laser fenestrations using image fusion guidance and company manufactured stent grafts in complex aortic aneurysm repair

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery May 17, 2021

Senémaud J, Fadel G, Touma J, et al. - This study was intended to present initial outcomes of physician modified stent grafts using antegrade laser fenestrations and image fusion guidance (LEVAR) and company manufactured custom-made (CM) stent-grafts for the treatment of complex abdominal aortic aneurysms, thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, and type I endoleaks. Researchers conducted a retrospective single centre study examining all LEVAR and Zenith (Cook) CM stent graft procedures between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2018. The Kaplan–Meier method was used to calculate outcomes at 12 months. In this study, a total of 100 patients were included. The results demonstrate that LEVAR may provide satisfactory 12-month overall survival and target vessel patency rate in high-risk patients deemed unfit for open repair, though reported intra-operative adverse events, mortality, and re-interventions rates were high thus requiring close and extensive follow up.
