Abstract | BACKGROUND: Endovascular treatment of ruptured aortic aneurysms is performed in many centers around the world. New endovascular stent-grafts may prove to improve results. We report our experience with the Endurant device.METHODS: From June 2010 to November 2010, we treated five male patients (mean age: 75.8 years) suffering from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm with the Endurant device. The mean aneurysm diameter was 90.2 mm; the mean neck length was 13 mm; the mean proximal neck diameter was 27 mm; and the mean proximal angulation was 64°.RESULTS: Technical success rate was 100%. In one patient, a proximal leak was diagnosed intraoperatively, and a proximal extension was successfully deployed. No secondary procedures were necessary and no open conversions required during the first admission. One patient required a proximal extension at 3 months for a type I endoleak. The 30-day mortality was 20%, and no further deaths occurred during the follow-up (mean duration: 15 months).CONCLUSION: New stent-grafts may ameliorate the prognosis of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms. Our experience with the Endurant device has shown promising results. To our knowledge, this is the first report of endovascular treatment of ruptured aortic aneurysms with this stent-graft. |
