Summary: Endovascular repair using fenestrated and branched stent-grafts for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms is a safe and effective treatment option with acceptable early results. Lifelong regular follow-up and additional prospective studies are needed to further validate the efficacy of this technique.

Summary: The management of unused fenestrations and branches in F/B EVAR techniques is crucial to prevent ongoing endoleaks. Several endovascular techniques are available to occlude these openings in a timely manner, ensuring successful treatment of aneurysmal aortic pathology.

Summary: Non-elective fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) is associated with higher early mortality and major adverse events (MAEs), increased all-cause mortality, and aortic-related mortality (ARM) compared to elective repair. Long-term follow-up is necessary to justify the treatment.

Summary: The study evaluates the technical success, feasibility, and outcomes of endovascular preservation of segmental arteries (SAs) during fenestrated/branched endovascular aortic repair (F/B-EVAR). The results show that endovascular preservation of SAs with F/B-EVAR for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is feasible, safe, and may contribute to preventive measures for spinal cord ischemia (SCI).

Summary: This study analyzed data from 886 patients undergoing FBEVAR for TAAAs treatment, finding that women had longer operative time, lower technical success rate, and a higher risk of postoperative sac expansion compared to men, although 30-day mortality and 1-year outcomes were similar between the sexes.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the outcomes of single or multistage approaches in fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) for extensive thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs). The study found that a multistage approach was associated with a decreased risk of mortality and/or permanent paraplegia at 30 days or within the hospital stay, and higher patient survival at 1 and 3 years compared to a single-stage approach.

Summary: The optimal surgical treatment for extended thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms is still debatable, with open repair and fenestrated and branched stent grafts being commonly used but lacking randomized comparative studies.

Summary: This study compared outcomes of FB-EVAR using low-profile and standard-profile stent grafts for treatment of complex abdominal aortic aneurysms. Patients treated with low-profile devices had similar technical success and shorter operating times, lower radiation exposure, and less contrast usage compared to standard-profile devices. There were no differences in mortality and adverse events at 30 days and 4 years, but patients treated with low-profile devices had a higher sac shrinkage rate.

Summary: This multicenter international study aimed to describe the outcomes of fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repairs (FB-EVAR) in patients treated for chronic post-dissection thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (PD-TAAAs). The study found that FB-EVAR was associated with high technical success and a low rate of mortality and disabling complications at 30 days. However, patient survival at 5 years was low, likely due to significant comorbidities. The freedom from secondary interventions at 5 years was 44%, highlighting the need for continued patient surveillance.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 466 patients with complex abdominal aortic aneurysms and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms who underwent FB-EVAR surgery, focusing on the technical pitfalls and outcomes of iliofemoral conduits. The results showed that the use of iliofemoral conduits was successful in treating these diseases and could effectively prevent complications such as inadvertent iliac artery disruption or conversion during the surgical procedure.

Summary: The present study analyzes the application of fenestrated/branched endovascular aneurysm repair (F/BEVAR) in the treatment of post-dissection thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (PD-TAAAs). The study found that F/BEVAR achieves high rates of technical success and good mid-term results in PD-TAAAs, but also faces additional technical challenges.

Summary: The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors for target vessel-related endoleaks after fenestrated or branched endovascular aortic repair (F/BEVAR) for postdissection thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs). The study found that patients with postdissection TAAAs were more likely to develop target vessel-related endoleaks. Factors such as younger age, higher body mass index, larger aortic diameter, and more prior aortic repairs were associated with an increased risk of endoleaks.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of patient frailty status on the outcomes of fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair for complex abdominal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. The results showed that greater frailty was associated with higher early mortality, major adverse events, and lower long-term survival.

Summary: For patients with extensive TAAAs treated with fenestrated/branched endovascular aortic repair, both historical and planned procedural staging were associated with reduced permanent SCI rates. However, no additional benefit was observed when procedural staging was performed in patients with historical staging and an intact collateral network. Further investigation is needed to explore the protective role of preoperative cerebrospinal fluid drainage placement.

Summary: In patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), there was a significant reduction of miRNA-1281 expression after EVAR. The study found no influence of renal function, cholesterol, or CRP levels on miRNA-1281 expression, and suggested a correlation between miRNA-1281 and aortic wall stress or flow changes.
