"Fenestrated and Branched Stent-grafts for Treatment of Complex Aortoiliac Aneurysms"
This thesis describes the results of endovascular treatment of aortoiliac aneurysms. It provides evidence on the impact of stent-graft configurations (renal FEVAR (fenestrated endovascular aortic repair), complex FEVAR, BEVAR (branchedEVAR)) and compatibility of different manufactured stent-grafts for the management of aortoiliac aneurysms. Moreover, the high technical success and patency of IBDs (Iliac Branch Device) was reconfirmed. Furthermore, it showed that after previous failed EVAR, an endovascular solution with FEVAR is in terms of mortality and morbidity less than in open surgery. These complex interventions should not be abstained from octogenarians and should be performed with highly sophisticated intra operative imaging. Further research on endovascular solutions for the treatment of aortoiliac aneurysms is crucial, as failed treatment leads to rupture and death of these patients.
