PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to describe a new bailout maneuver for use during branched endovascular thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair (BEVAR) while dealing with challenging target vessel cannulation.
TECHNIQUE: A 54-year-old woman underwent urgent BEVAR with a low-profile T-branch device to exclude a type 2 thoracoabdominal aneurysm (TAAA). The endovascular procedure was challenging because the left renal artery ostium was covered by the endograft fabric, compounded by diseased target vessels. A novel bailout maneuver is described. After angioplasty of the left renal artery (LRA), the LRA remained precannulated and a low-profile T-branch was implanted. The 3 proximal branches (superior mesenteric artery, inferior mesenteric artery, and the right renal artery) were connected to their respective target vessels swiftly with a steerable sheath from a femoral approach. Access to the left renal artery was not achieved because it was obstructed by the fully deployed endograft. We subsequently stented the LRA over the "pre-positioned buddy wire," using a balloon-expandable covered stent protruding inside the aneurysm lumen. The proximal stent was then flared and lifted upward using an 8.5 Fr steerable sheath, which made cannulation and stenting of the LRA through the side-branch from above finally achievable.
CONCLUSION: The elevator technique described in this article will help achieve technical success in challenging BEVAR cases.Clinical ImpactWe describe in this technical note the "elevator technique" that will complement the "Snare-Ride" and "Balloon Anchoring" techniques over a buddy wire positioned in a target vessel, to provide successful bailout options for challenging TV cannulations during BEVAR.After failed access to the renal artery through the renal branch, a covered stent was implanted in the renal artery over the buddy wire with 10 mm protruding into the aortic lumen. This stent was then flared, prior to advancing a curved steerable sheath into the stent, which shaped it with a superior-facing funneled aortic segment. This maneuver resulted in the renal stent facing its corresponding branch, finally easy to access from the endograft lumen.
