3:45 PM Abstract No. 96 Modified octopus technique with reduction in gutter leaks for thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive approach to repair of thoracoabdominal aneurysms (TAA) in patients who are poor surgical candidates. Aneurysms that involve the origin of the visceral branches of the abdominal aorta can be challenging to manage due to the inability of conventional stents to manage blood flow to vital organs when using fenestration and snorkeling approaches. Here, we review the efficacy and potential adverse effects of a novel modified octopus technique using an iliac branch device (IBD) in the management of these patients.
