Description
Summary:Treatment of atherosclerotic occlusive disease of the infrarenal aorta poses several challenges. Traditionally, open surgery has been the preferred method of treatment in standard risk patients, although, it is burdened by high morbidity and mortality. There are many classifications to establish the patient risk for surgery. Among the most common is the American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) classification. ACC/AHA high-risk patients benefit from the increase in endovascular technology and skills. The treatment modality of atherosclerotic aortic disease has shifted towards a minimally invasive approach, including kissing stents, covered endovascular reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation (CERAB) and, aorto-uniiliac stent grafts. When there is an involvement of vital branches such as the inferior mesenteric (with concomitant occluded superior mesenteric artery) or the renal arteries, Chimney- CERAB technique has been successfully utilized to overcome this challenge. We present three patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) successfully treated with the chimney- CERAB technique to preserve a large inferior mesenteric artery in the setting of occlusion/near occlusion of the other mesenteric vessels.
