Current results of balloon expandable visceral stent-grafts in fenestrated endografting.

CONCLUSIONS: So far, several balloon-expandable stent-grafts have been used as bridging stents during FEVAR but the ideal bridging stent-graft is far to be designed. The better understanding of the system FEVAR-native aorta and the strict collaboration and exchange of expertise between physicians and engineers are mandatory in order to increase the performances of these important components and to reduce re-interventions and complications in FEVAR.
