ABSTRACT: Background
Chimney endovascular aneurysm repair (chEVAR) techniques have been described to manage a group of patients who are unsuitable for either open aortic aneurysm surgery or a variety of standard endovascular repair techniques. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term clinical outcomes of chEVAR in emergency settings for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms that have complex morphology.Methods
This was a multicentre retrospective study that included all consecutive patients undergoing urgent chEVAR with at least one chimney/parallel graft up to June 2021. Outcomes that were captured included 30-day mortality, long-term overall survival, aneurysm-related mortality, chimney-related complications, and target vessel patency.Results
