2 short neck is too simplistic 2

3 SWAC criteria aortic neck Short (< 15 mm) Wide (>28) Angulated (>75 infrarenal) Conical (>20% diameter increase first 1 cm) S in combination with WAC consequences for apposition of the endograft in the neck 3

4 Majority of endografts are tilted (in the neck) R.C. Schuurmann et al, JVS, 2017

5 EndoAnchors CREATE THE STABILITY OF A SURGICAL ANASTOMOSIS IN EVAR AND TEVAR Surgical Anastomosis EndoAnchoring Case images courtesy of John Aruny MD, Bart Edward Muhs, MD, PhD. 5

6 How to manage EVAR with EndoAnchors? PROPHYLAXIS TREATMENT Hostile Anatomy Overcoming concerns for implant stability Normal Anatomy Mitigating risk of reinterventions Resolve proximal seal failures Challenging neck anatomies (e.g. wide, short, conical, angulated) Severe comorbidities that preclude safe reintervention Targeted sealing of acute type I endoleaks Difficult landing Patients potentially lost during F/U Targeted sealing of late type I endoleaks (e.g. birdbeaking, close to branched vessels) Long remaining life expectancy (young pts) Augmented stability in migrated grafts Case image from Gandhi RT, Katzen BT Treating a Type 1A Endoleak Using EndoAnchors.

13 WHY CHEVAR? Custom made solutions still have limits

14 WHY CHEVAR? Approx. 18% of patients are excluded from EVAR because of a short neck with insufficient sealing zone Iliac access, neck angulation and emergent treatment are major exclusion criteria for custom made solutions J. Carpenter et. al; J Vasc Surg Dec;34(6):1050-4

15 CH-EVAR IS A STANDARDIZATION NEEDED?

16 THE BEST CONDITIONS FOR PARALLEL STENTING DURING EVAR AN IN-VITRO STUDY ARE MATERIALS PLAYING A ROLE? Patency G. Mestres et. al, Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg Nov;44(5):468-73; 1 = MAQUET Cardiovascular, LLC

17 ARE MATERIALS PLAYING A ROLE? THE BEST CONDITIONS FOR PARALLEL STENTING DURING EVAR AN IN-VITRO STUDY Gutters G. Mestres et. al, Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg Nov;44(5):468-73

18 ARE MATERIALS PLAYING A ROLE? Patency PERICLES (Various Stent Grafts/Chimney stents) PROTAGORAS (Endurant +Advanta V12) 87.0% 95.7%

19 ARE MATERIALS PLAYING A ROLE? Nitinol Endoskeleton Gutters Stainless Steel Endoskeleton In vivo and in vitro studies showed harmonic interaction of the Endurant device with balloon expandable covered stents as chimneys. K. Donas et. al, J Vasc Surg Sep;62(3):578-84

20 GUTTERS CLASSIFICATION A1 A2 A3 Type A1: Gutter originating at the proximal start of the fabric of the endograft and continuing into the aneurysm sac. Type A2: Gutter originating at the proximal start of the fabric of the endograft and extending into the side branch vessel. Type A3: gutter that begins at the proximal start of the endograft fabric and terminates proximal to the aneurysm sac or chimney stent graft

21 POTENTIAL PROS and CONS OF CHEVAR Advantages CE approved short neck indication Increases seal zone Off the shelf product availability Symptomatic, Ruptured Flexible Devices Angled Neck Low Profile Devices Challenging access vessels Cost effective Disadvantages Less wall apposition (gutters) Brachial access required

22 On-label use JUXTARENAL AAA - SEAL SMA Two Chimney ONLY Primary EVAR, no revision cases MINIMUM sealing zone 2mm Lowest Renal One Chimney For one Chimney: 15 mm from proximal aspect of AAA to highest renal Proximal Aspect of AAA For two Chimney: 15 mm from proximal aspect of AAA to SMA This must include a MINIMUM infrarenal neck of 2 mm (range 2 mm to 9 mm)

23 On-label use JUXTARENAL AAA - DIAMETER Aortic diameter treatment range 19 mm to 30 mm Oversizing recommendations 20 to 30% 19 mm to 30 mm Graft diameter (proximal; mm) Vessel inner diameter (mm) Standard configuration Parallel configuration N/A

24 128 patients with pararenal pathologies and the intention to treat by Endurant and Atrium Advanta V12 1 as chimney graft Follow up: 3 year Kaplan Mayer analysis K. Donas et. al, J Vasc Surg Jan;63(1):1-7

25 THE PROTAGORAS STUDY STUDY RESULTS Primary Endpoints: sac diameter regression and Chimney graft patency Sac regression: 64.8+/-14.6 mm 60.1+/-16.3 mm, p <0.001 New onset of type IA endoleak needed secondary procedure: 1.6 % 90,6 % patients reduced or stable AAA diameter K. Donas et. al, J Vasc Surg Jan;63(1):1-7

26 Sufficient seal necessary Preoperative maximal PAP diameter 64.8 mm Preoperative proximal neck diameter 24 mm Preoperative proximal neck length 4.7 mm Preoperative suprarenal neck angulation 22.8 New sealing zone from <5mm to 18.7mm
