Risk factors for target vessel endoleaks after physician-modified fenestrated or branched endovascular aortic arch repair: A retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Fenestrated or branched endovascular aortic arch repair (fb-arch repair) is an effective option for treating complex aortic arch lesions, including thoracic aortic aneurysms and aortic dissections. However, the relatively high rate of re-intervention due to target vessel (TV)-related endoleaks have raised concerns. This study aimed to determine risk factors for TV-related endoleaks after fb-arch repair.

Methods

This was a retrospective analysis of all patients undergoing fb-arch repair between 2017 and 2021in nanjing drum tower hospital of China. All the patients underwent computed tomography angiography (CTA) before surgery; at discharge; and at 3 months, 6 months, and yearly post-discharge. All procedures are performed with physician modified grafts. Two experien
