“…15 There is a paucity of published data that assesses the feasibility of these techniques, established primarily for the treatment of aortic aneurysms, in patients with PAUs. While some studies exist that describe treatment of PAUs in an acute or elective setting, 16,17 none have presented a series of patients undergoing treatment for complex pararenal PAUs. The present study reports a single center experience with the management of an increasingly diagnosed, complex, and potentially deadly pathology of the aorta.…”

Encouraging results of endovascular treatment of pararenal PAUs were observed. One major and fatal complication was encountered, which underlines the complexity and risks of the techniques. Another patient required re-intervention owing to an endoleak following off label use of covered stents for Ch-EVAR. FEVAR, which generally requires a custom made graft, was increasingly applied over the study period, potentially because of an increased awareness of this distinct pathology allowing for elective procedure planning. Ch-EVAR and hybrid procedures were predominantly used in symptomatic patients, whereas FEVAR was the preferred elective treatment option.
