A Custom-Made Treovance (R) Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Endograft to Correct Late Failure of Trombone Technique with a Tube Endograft

摘要

Background: Unfavorable anatomy is one of the major limitations of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) with specifically adverse proximal neck morphology excluding many patients from receiving the standard endograft devices. Thoracic tube endografts have been used to overcome the issue of wide infrarenal necks, either as a sole device (single tubes or double tubes using the trombone technique) or as the proximal part of a bifurcated device fixed to the aortic bifurcation or infrarenally oriented. However, custom-made large proximal diameter bifurcated endograft designs have never been used.
