Physician modified endograft to treat a symptomatic juxta-renal aortic aneurysm: report of the first case at our center

BACKGROUND: Symptomatic or ruptured juxta-renal aortic aneurysms can be managed through open surgical repair or endovascular approaches, including chimney endovascular aortic repair (chEVAR), off-the-shelf branched devices, or physician-modified endograft (PMEG). PMEG has proven to be a feasible al...

description BACKGROUND: Symptomatic or ruptured juxta-renal aortic aneurysms can be managed through open surgical repair or endovascular approaches, including chimney endovascular aortic repair (chEVAR), off-the-shelf branched devices, or physician-modified endograft (PMEG). PMEG has proven to be a feasible alternative with satisfactory long-term outcomes for such conditions. CASE REPORT: We document the inaugural case of PMEG performed at our center for a 69-year-old man with a symptomatic juxta-renal aortic aneurysm. This custom-made device included fenestrations for renal arteries and a scallop for the superior mesenteric artery. The patient was discharged home on the ninth postoperative day. A six-month follow-up CTA confirmed the AAA's exclusion, with maintained patency of all visceral vessels and no evidence of endoleak. CONCLUSION: The complexity of the PMEG procedure varies based on the surgeon’s expertise and the patient’s anatomical challenges. This underscores the importance of meticulous patient selection, a process that ensures the safety and success of the procedure.
