1 Fenestrated Implantation: How I do it. Tara M Mastracci, FRCSC, FACS, FRCS, MSc Royal Free London

2 Disclosures Cook Medical Inc -- Proctorship and Consultation All speaking and consultation fees are donated to the Royal Free Trust Aortic Charity (Fund 187)

3 Fenestrated Planning Postprocessing software is essential Greater accuracy and precision Flexibility to manipulate the planes Axial Corrected

4 Dedicated Planning Software

5 Calculations Distances between visceral arteries Radial or clock positions Vessel diameters Sealing zone diameter Graft length

6 Determine Seal Zone Fenestrated device planning begins by determining where the proximal sealing stent will reside. Choose the lowest aortic segment that will provide adequate seal Be cautious in the setting of angulated anatomy Seal zone should be > 20 mm and proximal to the aneurysm

7 How do you pick a Sealing Zone???

ASCULAR SURGERY ber 2 Diehm et al 427 JOURNAL OF VASCULAR SURGERY Volume 48, Number 2 Normal 430 Long Neck Diehm et al 429 JOURNAL OF VASCULAR SURGERY August 2008 Fig 2. Van Gieson s elastic stains from control (left) and two neck regions from patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (center and right). The center picture from a patient with low scores of destruction shows beginning scarification of the outer media (asterisk) and substantial loss of elastin in the inner media. The example in the right image from a severely affected aortic neck illustrates almost complete loss of continuous sheets of elastin throughout the media. The age-matched control on the left has a normal medial structure except for a few interrupted lamellar units near the adventitia.. Schematic depiction of tissue sampling in AAA patients undergoing open repair.

Thickness of the aortic media at the infrarenal level has been described to be 640 " 180 #m in control individuals.38 The increased media thickness in the present study may be explained by samples obtained proximally to those described previously.38 The decrease in the number of elastic lamellar units along the course of the thoracic to the infrarenal aorta is well-known.38,39 The number of elastic

33 Choosing Graft Diameters The diameter of the graft is typically chosen to be 10-25% larger than the proximal implantation site. The attachment sites for distal implantation are oversized by approximately 15-35%. In vessels with diameters greater than 16 mm, oversizing can be increased.

34 Clock Positions Clock positions should be performed on corrected views (MPR).

35 Effects of Angulation

36 Inner Vessel Diameter Determines where the fenestrations will be located More critical for fenestrations than scallops Not to include thrombus

37 Access Vessel Proper alignment of fenestrations requires the ability to readily rotate the device. Access vessels must be evaluated with respect to: - Tortuosity - Diameter - Stenosis - Calcification - Length Quality of access vessel influences the ability to manipulate the proximal body while aligning the fenestrations.
