Fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair: graft complexity does not predict outcome.
To evaluate the outcomes of endografts designed with renal fenestrations alone vs. more complex designs that accommodate mesenteric arteries in a consecutive series of patients with pararenal aortic aneurysms undergoing endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). ⋯ In carefully selected patients with pararenal aneurysms, the inclusion of mesenteric arteries in the fenestrated graft design did not influence outcomes compared to fenestrated EVARs involving the renal arteries alone.
