lüll Fenestrated and branched grafts for para-anastomotic aortic aneurysm repair Ziegler P; Perdikides TP; Avgerinos ED; Umscheid T; Stelter WJJ Endovasc Ther 2007[Aug]; 14 (4): 513-9PURPOSE: To investigate the use of fenestration and branch artery stenting during endovascular stent-graft repair of para-anastomotic aneurysms (PAA). METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted of 9 patients (all men; mean age 71 years, range 60-80) who received custom-designed fenestrated endoprostheses for PAA repair. Eight tubular fenestrated devices and 1 composite device (fenestrated tube plus modular bifurcated body) with a total of 31 fenestrations were used. RESULTS: The mean operating time was 318+/-93 minutes (range 220-485); the mean fluoroscopy time was 77+/-38 minutes (range 39-158), during which a mean 121+/-81 mL (range 33-300) of contrast was used. Technical success was achieved in all cases. Over a mean follow-up of 12+/-5.5 months (range 6-24), 1 secondary intervention was carried out due to a break in a side branch stent-graft; 2 transient renal impairments and 1 permanent renal insufficiency unrelated to renal artery patency were observed. So far, no vessel loss has emerged. CONCLUSION: Conventional repair of PAA has been a standard procedure for many years, though it carries high surgical risk as well as perioperative mortality. Fenestrated endografts may be a promising alternative in selected patients.|*Blood Vessel Prosthesis[MESH]|*Stents[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Anastomosis, Surgical[MESH]|Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal/diagnostic imaging/*surgery[MESH]|Blood Vessel Prosthesis Implantation/adverse effects/*instrumentation[MESH]|Follow-Up Studies[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Prosthesis Design[MESH]|Radiography, Interventional[MESH]|Recurrence[MESH]|Reoperation[MESH]|Retrospective Studies[MESH]|Time Factors[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
