The different effect of branches and fenestrations on early and long-term visceral vessel patency in complex aortic endovascular repair

Aortic endovascular treatment with fenestrated or branched devices (f/bEVAR) requires a connection between the aortic graft and the visceral vessel (VV). However, data on the perioperative and long-term fate of the VVs remain scarce. The aim of our study was to evaluate the VV loss (VVL) according to the type of revascularization performed (fenestrations vs branched) and the necessity for adjunctive visceral procedures (AVPs).
