Abstract:
We present our experience with using the bifurcated covered endovascular reconstruction technique in two unusual conditions. One patient with a traumatic "seat belt" aortic injury and a second patient with a bleeding aorto-enteric fistula were successfully treated with the CERAB technique. We discuss potential benefits of the technique outside the usual pattern of chronic atherosclerotic aortoiliac disease.
