iCover as Bridging Stent Graft in Fenestrated Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair
The iCover-SG demonstrates promising initial outcomes as a BS in FEVAR, with high technical success rates and satisfactory rates of target vessel instability. Continued monitoring and further studies are warranted to assess long-term durability and outcomes.Clinical ImpactThis study shows that the iCover stent graft achieves satisfactory technical success and target vessel stability in the short- and mid-term when used as a bridging stent graft in FEVAR procedures. Its successful integration into clinical practice broadens the range of available options, providing clinicians with more versatile tools for managing complex endovascular aortic aneurysms. This expanded selection of bridging stent grafts allows for more personalised treatment strategies, improving procedural precision and patient outcomes. The iCover stent graft's reliable performance highlights its potential as a valuable addition to current endovascular techniques, ultimately enhancing patient care in challenging cases.
