ReviewFenestrated and Branched Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair for Treating Juxtarenal Aneurysms: An Update.
Fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (f-EVAR, b-EVAR, respectively) are technically challenging procedures that have evolved over the last decade for complex aortic aneurysms. They are alternatives to surgical repair for suprarenal and juxtarenal aortic aneurysms. ⋯ Over the years, f-EVAR and b-EVAR have improved, with high technical success (>95%) and mortality rates of 1-5% for pararenal and 5-10% for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Key Words: Fenestrated-branched endovascular repair, Fenestrated EVAR, Branched EVAR, Juxtarenal aortic aneurysm.
