Abstract

A 65-year-old man with a tender, 98-mm-diameter, pararenal aortic aneurysm was referred to our center. This patient was unfit for open repair and could not wait 8 weeks for a custom-made endograft to be manufactured. We describe the endovascular treatment of his aneurysm with a 4-branch endograft that had been constructed for another patient. He had an uneventful recovery. Postoperative CT scan confirmed patency of all visceral branches and exclusion of the aneurysm. Various branched and fenestrated endografts are or will soon be available "off-the-shelf" to treat ruptured or symptomatic pararenal and thoracoabdominal aneurysms. We assess the pros and cons of this new generation of endografts designed to adapt to most aortic anatomies.
