Abstract:
This report presents 3 procedures with visceral "chimney stenting" in conjunction with an endovascular aneurysm sealing (EVAS) device, known as chEVAS, for treatment of type 1a endoleak. It includes the first published chEVAS in a patient with previous fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR). Cases include an 80-year-old man 8 years after FEVAR for a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA); an 85-year-old woman 9 months after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for a ruptured infrarenal AAA; and an 84-year-old woman 3 months after EVAR for a symptomatic infrarenal AAA. Technical success was achieved in all cases, with 1 postoperative death. The remaining 2 patients had no residual type 1a endoleak at 10 and 14 months respectively.
