Total transfemoral access in a new off-the-shelf thoracoabdominal inner-branched endograft

Abstract

Branched endovascular aneurysm repair (BEVAR) is increasingly being performed with the off-the-shelf devices. We evaluated the use of the wire-assisted sheath stabilization technique for the new inner branch-based (iBEVAR), off-the-shelf E-nside endograft in 2 patients. The cannulation of the 8 reno-visceral target vessels and the BSG implantation were successfully performed using the total transfemoral approach. Complications were not observed during the 3-month follow-up. The wire-assisted sheath stabilization technique was shown feasible in an off-the-shelf iBEVAR.
