Urgent Relining of a Fenestrated Stent-Graft for Symptomatic Type V TAAA due to Late Type IIIB and IIIC Endoleaks in a Patient With Marfan Syndrome Case Report and Literature Review
Endovascular therapy provides a viable option for managing MFS patients, particularly in challenging redo cases with prohibitive surgical risks. Lifelong aortic surveillance in specialized centers and extended and careful follow-up is essential to assess the risks and the true incidence of high-flow endoleaks, as well as the overall safety and durability of these interventions, especially given the progressive nature of CTDs.Clinical ImpactThis study demonstrated the feasibility, safety, and time- and cost-effectiveness of single-disc vascular plug embolization for directional branches during urgent or emergent branched endovascular aortic aneurysm repair using off-the-shelf devices, even without elongation with balloon-expandable stent-grafts. This approach is particularly relevant in urgent scenarios, where minimizing procedural time is critical for optimizing patient outcomes, as well as in resource-limited settings, where efficient allocation of healthcare resources is essential.
