Endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with percutaneous transfemoral prostheses deployment under local anaesthesia. Initial experience with a new, simple-to-use tubular and bifurcated device in the first 27 cases.

Background: Modification of endografts are required to simplify and improve the safety of the endovascular management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a new custom-made, tubular and bifurcated device.

Materials And Methods: The graft consisted of a continuous, self-expanding, stainless steel, Z-stent structure, covered with a thin wall PTFE tube.
