Late surgical conversion of failed Multilayer Flow Modulator stenting in thoraco-abdominal aneurysms.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study was to report the outcomes of open or hybrid repair of failed thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm endovascular treatment with Multilayer Flow Modulator (MFM) stents.

Methods

All patients who underwent open or hybrid repair of a failed MFM aortic treatment were retrospectively analysed. Perioperative and postoperative data, as well as midterm survival, were assessed.

Results

Between 2013 and 2020, 39 patients received an open or hybrid conversion after endovascular treatment. Five of them [13%; 4 males; median age 68 years (interquartile range 66-76)] were previously treated with aortic MFM stents (Cardiatis, Isnes, Belgium). Among these, the median interval between index repair and conversion was 84 months (interquartile range 75-84). Th
