Abstract
The Anaconda fenestrated stent graft (Vascutek, Inchinnan, United Kingdom) is a new device that can easily be repositioned during deployment. This study evaluated its feasibility for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms with inadequate infrarenal sealing zones. Patients undergoing stent graft placement at two institutions in the United Kingdom were recruited. A total of 12 visceral vessels were accommodated with 8 fenestrations for renal arteries and 4 superior mesenteric artery valleys/scallops in 4 patients. One type Ib endoleak was identified at the 1-month follow-up and successfully treated. The Anaconda fenestrated stent graft device can be used for the repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms with hostile anatomy and has acceptable immediate and short-term results.
