Evaluation of the Treatment of Abdominal Aortic Pathology With Hostile Necks, Para-/Juxra-renal and Sovrarenal Pathology at Short, Mid and Long Term

Although open repair (OR) is currently reported as the gold standard of treatment, fenestrated endovascular repair (FEVAR) is being increasingly applied for the treatment of proximal abdominal aortic aneurysms (p-AAA) such as hostile-necked, juxta-, para- and supra-renal aortic aneurysms.1 Nevertheless, advantages of FEVAR in terms of lowering postoperative complications, should be balanced with the need of both complex device configurations and operators with large endovascular expertise. The aim of this study is to report the experience of Data from patients treated will be prospectively collected. All post-operative results will be recorded. Major adverse event (MAE) are defined as the presence of one of the following: all-cause mortality, bowel ischemia, myocardial infarction, paraplegia, respiratory failure, stroke and renal insufficiency. Furthermore, the pre-operative contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans (CTA) of all patients, stored in the hospital PACS, will be analyzed on the dedicated workstation with OsiriX software (Pixmeo sarl, Bernex, Switzerland) currently employed in our Unit for imaging assessment. Patients will undergo standard control with the execution of a Doppler ultrasound and creatinine serum levels at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months. A CTA will also be performed at 12 months as per standard clinical practice. of p-AAA treatment.
