Endovascular repair is a preferred treatment for many people with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and an alternative for some who do not qualify for open surgery.
How an AAA is repaired varies depending on location, which then classifies the procedure as either STANDARD or COMPLEX.
STANDARD endovascular repair (EVAR) involves deploying endovascular stent graft under the level of renal arteries.
COMPLEX endovascular treatment (FEVAR/BEVAR) requires provision of fenestrations or branches incorporated into endovascular stent graft utilized to obtain seal above the level of renal arteries or mesenteric vessels and simultaneously maintain blood supply to those crucial arteries.
