We describe the feasibility and early results of a novel endovascular approach with a surgeon-modified fenestrated iliac stent graft to preserve pelvic perfusion in patients with iliac aneurysms not suitable for iliac branch devices (IBDs).
TECHNIQUE
Seven high-risk patients, median age 76 years (range 63-83), with a complex aortoiliac anatomy with contraindications for commercially available IBDs were treated with a novel surgeon-modified fenestrated iliac stent graft between August 2020 and November 2021. The modified device was built using an iliac limb stent graft (Endurant II Stent Graft; Medtronic), which was partially deployed, surgically fenestrated with a scalpel, reinforced, re-sheathed, and inserted via femoral access. The internal iliac artery was cannulated and bridged with a covered stent. Technical success rate was 100%. After a median follow-up period of 10 months, there was 1 type II endoleak and no migrations, stent fractures, or loss of device integrity. One iliac limb occlusion occurred after 7 months, which needed a secondary endovascular intervention, restoring patency.
CONCLUSION
Surgeon-modified fenestrated iliac stent graft is feasible and might be used as an alternative in patients with a complex iliac anatomy not suitable to commercially available IBDs. Long-term follow-up is needed to evaluate stent graft patency and potential complications.
CLINICAL IMPACT
Surgeon modified fenetrated iliac stent grafts might be a promising alternative to iliac branch devices, extending endovascular solutions to a broader patient population with complex aorto-iliac anatomies preserving antegrade internal iliac artery perfusion. It is possible to treat small iliac bifurcations and large angulations of the iliac bifurcation safely and there is no need for a contralateral or upper-extremity access.
