Abstract:
Failed fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (F-BEVAR) requiring a redo F-BEVAR is a rare event. In this study, we report 2 cases of a failed F-BEVAR secondary to a type IIIb endoleak from tears on the fabric graft successfully treated with redo F-BEVAR. This is a technically challenging procedure that requires meticulous planning, advanced imaging technologies and experienced operators. Redo F-BEVAR appears to be a feasible and safe treatment option. However, larger series and long-term follow-up are needed to confirm effectiveness and durability.
