Three Year Data on the Performance of Three Bridging Stent Grafts in Renal Arteries in Branched Endovascular Repair of Thoraco-abdominal Pathologies.

Objective: Previous studies showed that branched endovascular aneurysm repair (BEVAR) carries a significant risk for adverse renal events. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of the balloon expandable covered stent graft (BECS) Advanta/iCast V12, the Viabahn balloon expandable (VBX), and the BECS Advanta combined with a distal deployed self expanding covered stent (SECS) Viabahn (VSX) as bridging stent grafts (BSGs) in renal arteries.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was conducted at a single centre.
