Safety and durability of infrarenal aorta as distal landing zone in fenestrated or branched endograft repair for thoracoabdominal aneurysm
Journal of Vascular Surgery Jun 29, 2018
Law Y, et al. - Consecutive patients who underwent fenestrated or branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) with distal landing at the infrarenal aorta were reviewed retrospectively to assess the safety and durability of this procedure. Between August 2011 and August 2017, researchers analyzed 40 patients (40% male with a mean age of 72 ± 8 years) affected by types I (37.5%), II (25.0%), III (20.0%), and V (17.5%) thoracoabdominal aneurysms. Their early experience with the procedure showed that in FB-EVAR, distal landing at the infrarenal aorta was secure with no type IB endoleak. However, they recommend regular surveillance considering the gradual infrarenal aortic degeneration observed.
