Performance of a new generation balloon expandable stent-graft (Gore VBX) as bridging stent for B-EVAR
Despite further evaluation is mandatory to determine durability of the VBX in the long-term after B-EVAR, in our experience VBX demonstrated a high flexibility and trackability, excellent stent retention, and outstanding patency over time. A generous distal landing of the bridging stent into the target vessel should be always achieved, whereas possible, to reduce the risk of type Ic endoleak, which seems to be the main cause of branch instability.
