Stenting of superior mesenteric and celiac arteries does not increase complication rates after fenestrated-branched endovascular aneurysm repair
Journal of Vascular Surgery Mar 07, 2019
Motta F, et al. - Patients undergoing fenestrated-branched endovascular aneurysm repair (F-BEVAR) without vs with stenting of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) or celiac artery (CA) were compared regarding complications. Researchers particularly focused on the length of coverage above the CA. Performing a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of patients who were treated with F-BEVAR for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms between July 2012 and May 2017, they included data of 223 patients for analysis. More complex procedures, as assessed by operative time, brachial access, the number of vessels incorporated, and spinal drain use, were reported among patients who required SMA or CA incorporation with stents during F-BEVAR for aortic repair. However, outcomes were not identified to be influenced by the extension of the repair.
