Endovascular Aortic Repair

Abstract

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a useful and accurate imaging modality in determining the location of target vessels during fenestrated endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (FEVAR). IVUS may also assist in improving the operative plan in many procedures. Although IVUS is less reliable for the precise location of visceral and renal vessels in thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, it can accurately predict target vessel location in most juxtarenal and suprarenal aneurysms, which may facilitate safe and expeditious FEVAR.
