Principles of Side Branch Incorporation and “Bail Out” Maneuvers

Endovascular Aortic Repair

Abstract

Complex endovascular aortic repair requires mastering advanced skills for branch vessel catheterization and stenting, in addition to the skills needed for standard infra-renal and thoracic aortic endografting. Physicians may have to deal with unanticipated problems created by tortuous anatomy or intra-procedural complications. This chapter outlines the basic principles of branch vessel incorporation and how to deal with complications during endovascular repair using fenestrated, branched, and parallel stent-grafts.
