Abstract

Fenestrated endovascular aortic aneurysm repair is a minimally invasive technique used for the treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs). We report an easy method for positioning the controlled-release fenestrated endoprosthesis, associated with a less invasive approach for positioning the endoprosthesis and catheterization of the target vessels through percutaneous access.

Keywords

FEVAR - TAAAs - juxtarenal aneurysms - double brachial access - controlled-release fenestrated endoprosthesis
