Sumario:BACKGROUND: Today, complex abdominal aortic pathologies involving the visceral arteries and without an adequate proximal neck can be treated using fenestrated/branched endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR/BEVAR) with similar safety and success rates as infrarenal aortic pathologies treated with tubular EVAR. METHODICAL INNOVATIONS AND CHALLENGES: Fenestrations (if the vessel originates from a nondilated aorta) or branches (if the vessel originates from a dilated aorta) may be used for the visceral arteries. Both types of openings are sealed via bridging stent grafts that connect to the target vessel. Multiple manufacturers offer fenestrated or branched endoprostheses, with only a few being CE certified and the majority in Europe being patient-specific custom-made devices. Therefore, they require a certain delivery time which precludes acute patients from such treatment. However, two stent grafts with four branches for thoracoabdominal aneurysms are available off the shelf and are anatomically suitable for the majority of patients, thus, allowing for acute treatment. All FEVAR and BEVAR main bodies require bridging stent grafts, all of which are used off-label. RECOMMENDATIONS: As bridging stent grafts are one of the main reasons for reinterventions, one should be aware of fractures and kinking of the bridging stent grafts during follow-up and should refrain from using single-layered bridging stent grafts in BEVAR.
