In Situ Fenestration of a Dislocated Bridging Stent Graft After Multibranched Endografting of a Thoraco-abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Branched endovascular repair (BEVAR) is well established in the treatment of thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA). Despite high technical success rates, the literature reports considerable re-intervention rates associated with the bridging stent grafts (BrSG). One of the most challenging complications is BrSG migration from the target vessel (type Ic endoleak according to newer classification). An endovascular technique to address seal failure due to BrSG migration that can be applied to any dislocated BrSG is demonstrated.
