with progression to 61 mm max. diameter
Accessory renal arteris on both sides
Coiling of intercostal and lumbar arteries before FEVAR
to reduce the risk of spinal ischemia
Coiling of the accessory right renal artery
CAD, PTCA 2012 heart failure, EF 40%

IMPORTANT ITEMS
CT-scans and Stentgraft-plan

PROCEDURAL STEPS
1. Bilateral femoral access and left axillar percutaneous access
- Preloading of Proglide-Systems (ABBOTT) for all 3 access-sites

2. Implantation of the CMD thoracoabdominal stentgraft (JOTEC)

3. Implantation of E-ventus covered stents into the visveral arteries (JOTEC)

4. Implantation of the bifurcated component with extension into the common iliac arteries

CLINICAL DATA
