Use of Endurant Stent-Graft Aortic Extensions for the Treatment of Focal Aortic Pathology

Use of a Thoracic Endograft in an Acute Abdominal Aortic Setting: Case Report and Literature Review

“…Alternative endovascular options include straight tube endografts, 10,15 minimally invasive techniques 9,12,13 or suprarenal complex endografting such as fenestrated endografts or chimney techniques.…”

“…The use of endurant aortic extensions in focal abdominal aortic lesions with adequate distal neck confirmed to be safe in a recent publication. 15 Postimplantation ballooning and subsequent aortic rupture required distal extension of endovascular exclusion. In patients at high risk of aortic rupture, we usually performed aortic ballooning according to usual several cares as lowering systemic blood pressure, the use of a compliant balloon with lowpressure inflation, and the use of a long and large sheath to support aortic ballooning held manually to avoid displacement, avoiding expansion of the balloon outside the covered part of the endograft, sometimes with the distal part of the balloon inside the sheath to avoid distal excessive inflation.…”
