title: Technical feasibility of endovascular aortoiliac aneurysm repair combining Anaconda fenestrated and Zenith iliac side-branched stent grafts.
abstract: We demonstrate for the first time the technical feasibility of total endovascular aneurysm repair for juxtarenal and pararenal aortoiliac aneurysms by combining the Vascutek Anaconda custom-made fenestrated stent graft with the Cook Zenith iliac side-branched stent graft. Three patients (two male and one female) presented with asymptomatic pararenal aortoiliac aneurysm in the first case and juxtarenal aorto-left iliac aneurysms in the second and third cases. We successfully deployed the Anaconda fenestrated and the iliac side-branched stent graft combined with Atrium Advanta V12 stent grafts for renal, superior mesenteric, and hypogastric arteries. Postoperative computed tomography demonstrated excluded aneurysms with patent renovisceral and hypogastric arteries and no signs of endoleak.
