Use of a balloon-expandable sheath for transfemoral complex endovascular aortic repair

We describe our use of a balloon-expandable sheath to accommodate the multiple accesses needed for bridging stent placement during FEVAR in patients with highly calcified, tortuous, or small-diameter access vessels. We used this sheath for successful completion of FEVAR in 15 patients with challenging iliofemoral disease.
