This report describes a single center experience with laser fenestration of the inferior vena cava for the treatment of type 2 endoleak after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. Our technique is reviewed, and clinical data after treatment are reported. Twelve patients underwent transcaval embolization via laser fenestration. Technical success was achieved in all cases (100%) with no postoperative complications. At a median follow-up of 12.9 months, no patient demonstrated a persistent endoleak and there were no cases of aortocaval fistula. Transcaval embolization, via laser fenestration, provides an additional strategy for the management of type 2 endoleak after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the focal dilation of the terminal aorta, which can lead to rupture if left untreated. Traditional endovascular aneurysm repair techniques are minimally invasive and pose low mortality rates compared with open surgical repair; however, endovascular aneurysm repair procedures face challenges in accommodating variations in the patient's anatomy. Complex aneurysms are defined when the sac extends past the renal arteries or has an insufficient neck landing zone to deploy a traditional endograft.

Glomeruli filter blood through the coordination of podocytes, mesangial cells, fenestrated endothelial cells, and the glomerular basement membrane. Cellular changes, such as podocyte loss, are associated with pathologies like diabetic kidney disease. However, little is known regarding the in situ molecular profiles of specific cell types and how these profiles change with disease.

Physician-modified endografts (PMEGs) for the treatment of complex abdominal aortic aneurysms and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms are a viable option. Other endovascular options include custom and off-the-shelf devices for fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repair, parallel grafts, and in situ laser fenestration. The limitations of these devices include time to development, strict anatomic criteria, and durability regarding parallel grafts.

Background: Branched and fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (b/fEVAR) for thoracoabdominal aortic disease as well as thoracic disease branched and fenestrated thoracic endovascular aortic repair (b/fTEVAR) has been well described. Its utilization has also grown over time with the need for solutions having outpaced technologies available in the United States. As more practitioners utilize these and other complex aortic repairs, there is a growing utilization of adjunctive modalities expanding the capabilities of current devices.

: There is a paucity of data concerning the feasibility and value of thoracic aortic stent graft implantation (TEVAR) applications for removing tumors infiltrating the aortic wall. This analysis aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of TEVAR and monitor the perioperative risks of morbidity and mortality. Additionally, a literature review was performed.
