Background: Physician modified endografts (PMEGs) have been widely used in the treatment of complex abdominal aortic aneurysm and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm, however, previous data are limited to small single center studies and robust data on safety and effectiveness of PMEGs are lacking. We aimed to perform an international multicenter study analyzing the outcomes of PMEGs in complex abdominal aortic aneurysms and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.

Methods: An international multicenter single-arm cohort study was performed analyzing the outcomes of PMEGs in the treatment of elective, symptomatic, and ruptured complex abdominal aortic aneurysms and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.

Pre-op spinal arterial mapping is crucial for complex aortic repair. This study explores the utility of non-selective cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for pre-operative spinal arterial mapping to identify the Adamkiewicz artery (AKA) in patients undergoing open or endovascular repair of the descending thoracic or thoracoabdominal aorta at risk of spinal cord ischemia. Pre-operative non-selective dual-phase CBCT after intra-aortic contrast injection was performed in the aortic segment to be treated.

The optimal surgical treatment for extended thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) is still a matter of debate. The historical treatment is open repair (OR), but over the past fifteen years, endovascular strategies have gained widespread acceptance. Although several endovascular techniques have been described for the treatment of TAAAs, fenestrated and branched stent grafts (F/BEVARs) are the most frequently used and best documented.

Objective: This study aimed to compare various fenestration configurations of physician modified aortic stent grafts in order to identify which design parameters have a significant influence on the mechanical behaviour of the fenestration.

Methods: the fenestration configurations were considered according to different manufacturing parameters: cutting technique, fenestration reinforcement, suture material, reinforcement loop design, and number of suture points. The performance of the graft/bridging stent assembly was assessed at various levels: (1) branch pull out force; (2) fenestration enlargement and rupture strength; (3) balloon angioplasty resistance; and (4) behaviour under cyclic fatigue.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the effectiveness and safety of physician-modified fenestrated stent grafts (PMSGs) and custom-made fenestrated stent grafts (CMSGs) for treating complex abdominal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).
  • It analyzed 97 patients who underwent endovascular repair, noting differences in patient risk factors and outcomes between the two types of grafts used.
  • Results indicated that while CMSGs had lower in-hospital mortality (4% vs. 14%) and fewer complications, PMSGs had a higher proportion of severe cases and overall reintervention rates.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), also called "silent killer" as they grow without symptoms until the final rupture, are the 3rd cause of cardiovascular deaths, after myocardial infarction and stroke. Surgery is the only efficient way of preventing aortic rupture. The initial technique, described by Charles Dubost in 1952 has evolved and results and provides fair long-term results: open repair (OR) is performed under general anesthesia, via a transperitoneal or a retroperitoneal approach.
