Reversed Gore Excluder conformable main body as a conduit between branched stent graft limb, common iliac artery, and renal artery.

ABSTRACT: Renal artery access might not always be achieved due to anatomical reasons during the deployment of a branched stent graft in thoracoabdominal or juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. Renal perfusion is maintained through the aneurysm sac until the iliac limbs are deployed. To preserve renal perfusion, a branched iliac limb would be needed. Such limbs with a side branch, a narrow (12-14 mm) proximal end, and a wide (16-20 mm) distal end are not commercially available. Due to the nature of their deployment mechanism, Gore Excluder distal limbs (W.L. Gore & Associates) have been used outside the instructions for use in reversed position. A traditional Gore Excluder main body can be reversed; however, the smallest proximal diameter is 23 mm, which could be too large to be deployed in a typic
