Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the preliminary outcomes of the Gore® Viabahn® balloon-expandable endoprosthesis (VBX) as bridging stent for fenestrated/branched aortic endograft. Between April and June 2018, patients undergoing fenestrated and branched-endovascular aortic repair were prospectively collected. Anatomical, procedural, and postoperative data of patients treated with VBX as bridging stents to connect fenestrations/branches to target visceral vessels (TVVs) were analyzed. Technical success and any TVV-related adverse event were assessed before discharge, at 30 days, and after 6 months of follow-up. Fifteen patients undergoing fenestrated and branched-endovascular aortic repair for juxta/pararenal aneurysms (11), proximal type I endoleak after endovascular aortic repair (1), and thoracoabdominal aneurysms (3) were included in the study. Overall, 60 TVVs-celiac trunk (n = 14), superior mesenteric artery (n = 13), renal arteries (n = 30), hypogastric artery (n = 3)-were accommodated by fenestrations (n = 51), branches (n = 7), and scallops (n = 2). The bridging stent graft was a VBX in 40 (67%) TVVs. A renal artery dissection was successfully managed by a self-expandable bare metal stent. Overall, relining of a br...Continue Reading

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
