Abstract
Fenestrated and branched aortic endografts represent a valid option for the treatment of infra-renal and thoraco-abdominal aneurysms in patients who are usually turned down for open repair because of their life-threatening comorbidities, and for patients who need aortic reinterventions or have difficult access to the visceral aorta. Following the initial descriptions of fenestrated and branched cases, larger studies in recently published series have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the technique. Careful patient selection, accurate graft design, and precise deployment are crucial in obtaining technical and clinical success.
