Endovascular rescue of failed physician-modified multibranched endografts with fabric tear, using Gore thoracoabdominal multibranched endoprosthesis
Abstract
The thoracoabdominal multibranch endoprosthesis is a commercially available off-the-shelf four-vessel inner branched endograft for complex abdominal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. Type IIIb endoleak owing to fabric tear of fenestrated branched endovascular repair (FBEVAR) can be challenging, often requiring relining FBEVAR. Here, we present a case where thoracoabdominal multibranch endoprosthesis was used to reline the previous physician modified FBEVAR in a patient with a 10-cm extent IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm distal to the previous open extent I thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
