Abstract
Endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) with the Cook Zenith or Zenith Flex Endograft is performed for symptomatic or asymptomatic aortic aneurysm greater than 5.5 cm in men and 5 cm in women with suitable anatomy.
Major differences brought to the Zenith LP compared to the FLEX include:
-
Lower profile (18Â F outer sheet diameter).
-
No topcap for the suprarenal bare stent (allowing simpler deployment and deliver system retrieval.
-
Stent material is nitinol versus the stainless steel for the Flex device
This chapter describes indications, essential steps, variations, and complications of this procedure. It provides a detailed template operative note for the procedure.
