Modified fenestrated/branched endovascular aortic repair with short bridging stent to treat complex aortic dissection.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aims to improve fenestrated/branched endovascular aortic repair (F/B EVAR) through fabricating physician-modified stent grafts (PMSG) with short bridging stent to treat complex aortic dissection.

Methods

From November 2018 to January 2024, a total of 82 aortic dissection patients were treated by F/B EVAR combined with short bridging stents, including 19 aortic arch dissection patients and 63 thoracoabdominal aortic dissection patients. Inner or outer short bridging stents were applied to fabricate PMSG with the help of 3D-printing models intraoperatively. All patients underwent postoperative evaluation by enhanced computed tomography in follow-up.

Results

All aortic dissections were successfully repaired. In aortic arch group, the average operati
