Early and Mid-Term Outcomes of Open Repair, Fenestrated Stent Graft and Chimney Graft in Juxtarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Introduction - Juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (JAAA) is defined as an infrarenal AAA that is adjacent to or involving the lower margin of the renal artery origins1. Recently, promising results have been reported in peer reviewed journals after fenestrated and chimney graft approaches to repair of JAAA2,3. Open repair, fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) and chimney endovascular aneurysm repair (Ch-EVAR) are effective methods to treat this condition, but the comparative effectiveness of these treatment modalities is unclear4.
