Arm Ischemia Symptoms
Arm ischemia is a rare but preventable/treatable sequelae that can arise in about 18% of patients undergoing subclavian coverage without preoperative revasculation [5]. It is highly recommended for elective cases where it is known that the patient will require coverage of the subclavian that a carotid subclavian bypass or a carotid subclavian transposition be performed prior to stent‐graft placement. Decision of carotid subclavian bypass versus transposition is highly based on prior coronary artery bypass. Using a LIMA conduit as a transposition will compromise flow to the LIMA bypass during the procedure and can cause a myocardial infarction.
The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) has laid out specific guidelines with regard to coverage of the subclavian artery which are easily accessible on the SVS guidelines smartphone application. In emergent cases, the subclavian should be covered if needed so as to avoid type 1a endoleaks and careful postoperative monitoring of arm ischemia symptoms must occur. If the patient develops significant ischemic symptoms of the hand after coverage of the subclavian, revascularization should be performed. In patients who need elective TEVAR where coverage of the subclavian will be needed for appropriate seal, a preoperative subclavian revascularization is suggested.
CTA Surveillance/Endoleak Types
There is no general consensus for exact timing of CTA in the postoperative period or long‐term surveillance. Therefore, it is up to physicians to have their own standard for timing of CTA. Many providers obtain CT scans at 1 month, 2 months, 6 months, 12 months, and yearly thereafter to look for aneurysmal degeneration and/or endoleak formation [6]. Some providers obtain CTA prior to discharge in higher risk patients especially in those who presented with acute dissection, trauma, or rupture. Endoleak formation can be a very detrimental

factor in the perioperative period and during postoperative surveillance.
There are five distinct endoleak types (Figure 4.12):
1. Type 1: leakage between the graft and aortic wall either at the proximal seal zone (1a) or the distal seal zone (1b)
2. Type 2: back‐bleeding from another vessel (subclavian, intercostals)
3. Type 3: inadequate overlap between two stents
Figure 4.12 Endoleak classification.
4. Type 4: increased porosity of the stent‐graft
5. Type 5: endotension; increased size of aneurysm sac without other known source.
Types 1 and 3 when seen in the operating room should be repaired as they are technical failures. Type 2 endoleaks if small may be watched as they may revert on their own.

Introduction
Since it was first described in 1986 [1], endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become the preferred treatment option for many patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Multiple studies have shown lower 30‐day mortality rates and fewer perioperative complications as compared to open AAA repair [2–4]. Initial concerns regarding durability largely have been alleviated by stent‐graft redesign and follow‐up trials
examining long‐term outcomes [5–7]. While overall complication rates are favorable, reintervention rates remain significantly higher than open repair [8].
EVAR requires extensive preoperative planning including appropriate patient selection, detailed imaging, measurements, and graft selection. There are various intraoperative pitfalls, such as vascular access and endoleaks, which the surgeon must be able to identify and troubleshoot. This chapter will provide an overview of the steps of the procedure as well as management of potential issues that may arise.
Patient Selection
Though EVAR is appropriate for most patients, including those otherwise deemed too high‐risk for open repair [9],

it is not “one size fits all.” Various criteria should be considered, particularly anatomic suitability.
One advantage of EVAR over open repair is that it may be performed under anesthesia suited to the patient’s needs. General anesthesia is commonly used; however, either regional (spinal or epidural) or local anesthetic with sedation may be chosen depending on the individual’s comorbidities and type of access to be performed. This gives the anesthesiologist relative flexibility as compared to open repair which mandates general anesthesia.
Potential anatomic challenges include a short or severely angled aortic neck, circumferential thrombus, and iliac artery disease, but none of these alone is an absolute contraindication [10–12], particularly with advancements in graft design. Most surgeons consider the character of the neck to be the most important anatomic factor with length, diameter, angulation, and shape all playing important roles in the seal of the proximal graft. Pitfalls related to poor distal vessel quality will be addressed later in the section on vascular access. Preoperative imaging is essential to identifying these issues.
Preoperative Imaging and Measurements
All patients undergoing EVAR will require preoperative imaging. Computed tomography arteriography (CTA) with three‐dimensional (3D) reconstructions is the most common and the most useful for planning. Multiple software packages are available, including open source platforms, which enable the surgeon to create precise measurements accounting for the angulation and rotation of the blood vessels involved through centerline reconstructions (Figure 5.1).
Figure 5.1 Pictured on the left is a traditional CTA
coronal view of an infrarenal aneurysm. To the right is 3D reconstruction using available software. Such imaging modalities allow for accurate sizing and pre‐ operative case planning.
As proper CTA requires intravenous contrast administration, it should be performed judiciously in those patients with chronic kidney disease or concern for contrast allergy. For those who are unable to receive contrast dye, noncontrast may be performed. Unfortunately, this will lead to a subpar understanding of the patient’s anatomy. Distal occlusive disease or the presence of laminated thrombus may not be appreciated. In these patients, alternative imaging may also be considered such as carbon dioxide angiography [13] or intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). IVUS has also emerged as an essential intraoperative adjunct in performing EVAR for all patients [14].
Graft Selection
Once the surgeon has decided EVAR is a suitable option for an individual patient, the next crucial step is selection of the stent‐graft itself. There are multiple companies with devices currently approved for use in the United States and even more in clinical trials. In choosing a

graft, one must consider the following key components: profile, graft material, stent material, modularity, ease of use, and range of treatable aortic neck and iliac artery.
The delivery system profile is of particular importance in an aging population or in female patients who may have smaller femoral vessels, thus limiting access. At the time of writing, the smallest delivery sheath system is the Alto™ system (Endologix, Irvine, CA, USA) with an outside diameter (OD) of 15 Fr. All commercially available grafts are currently made with either woven polyester or polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE), similar to materials used during open surgical repair. Proximal fixation may be either infrarenal or suprarenal depending on the inclusion of a bare‐metal stent component. Positive fixation may be achieved with additional features such as metal hooks, barbs, anchors, or staples. Additional graft features, such as column support and radial force, will assist with fixation and, ideally, prevent caudal migration over the life of the device.
Manufacturers have selected to produce either bi‐ or tri‐ modular devices, with three‐piece grafts consisting of the main body and individual iliac limbs as opposed to a
main body and iliac piece with a separate contralateral limb piece. Graft selection depends not only on patient anatomy but also on the operator’s comfort with the system.
Graft Sizing
Each stent‐graft has unique features and thus requires specifically tailored measurements. Most manufacturers have worksheets available to assist in sizing. Generally speaking, grafts should be oversized approximately 10– 20% in comparison to the diameter of the aortic neck and iliac arteries to minimize the risk of graft complications, including graft migration and both early and late endoleak during aortic remodeling. While each available endograft device has its own specific instructions for use (IFU), there are several general
guidelines in sizing, which can help to determine the complexity of repair required dependent on individual patient anatomy.
Neck Length
One of the most crucial initial measurements in endograft sizing is the distance between the lowest renal artery and the most proximal portion of aneurysmal aorta, typically referred to as the “neck length.” This segment of aorta acts as the proximal fixation point for the sealing stents found at the proximal ends of most endograft devices. While there is some variation, as some grafts, such as the Zenith™ (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN, USA), have bare‐metal suprarenal fixation stents, these sealing zone stents provide the necessary wall apposition that leads to aneurysm exclusion. Equally as important is the quality of this aortic segment, as the presence of even mild aneurysmal degeneration or thrombus can lead to intraoperative embolic events, endoleak, or improper aortic remodeling. In general, an aortic neck of at least 15 mm is required for on‐label use of most commercially available endografts. However, there are two available devices, the Endurant™ (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) graft and Alto graft, which have specific IFU for aneurysms with less than 10 mm of available neck. In the case of the Endurant graft, the use of endoanchors improves apposition and fixation and allows for deployment with as little as 4 mm of available neck length.
Neck Diameter
The measurement of the aortic neck diameter is essential to prevent repair failure and thus equally as important in endograft sizing as neck length. It is typically taken 15 mm from the lowest renal and involves a wall‐to‐wall measurement in the axial cuts in a plane perpendicular to the course of the aortic lumen; although this may vary based on device. Most device manufacturers recommend oversizing by 10–20% of the aortic diameter. In doing so, current EVAR devices can accommodate aortic

diameters between 18 and 32 mm. Oversizing assures adequate wall apposition and reduction of the risk of a type I endoleak. However, overzealous oversizing can result in graft pleating of the fabric and type I endoleak, as well as an increase in late graft migration and aortic neck dilation. This is also important to remember in patients with conical aortic necks. In such cases, most recommend taking the average of both diameters to determine a final endograft stent size.
Branch Vessels
In cases where aneurysmal degeneration extends into the visceral segment and the patient is not suited to open repair, there are several endovascular options falling into three general categories: fenestrated endografts, parallel grafts, and debranching procedures.
Fenestrated endografts have now become commercially available (Zenith). Tailored to an individual patient’s anatomy, these custom‐made endografts allow for endovascular repair of juxtarenal aneurysms through creation of windows in the endograft designed to align with aortic branch vessels allowing for perfusion (and possible stenting) of visceral arteries. These devices have their own anatomic limitations and offer only limited treatment options in “off‐the‐shelf” emergent repair situations.
When such devices cannot be utilized, alternative complex endovascular techniques allow for appropriate repair and coverage. Parallel stent‐grafts, which include
snorkels, periscopes, and chimneys, refer to stent‐grafts placed in parallel alongside aortic endografts to allow for perfusion of branch vessels that would otherwise be covered. These repairs are often complicated with endoleak between stent‐grafts, so called “gutterleaks,” as well as stent‐graft thrombosis and type I endoleaks.
Debranching refers to open surgical debranching and bypass of visceral vessels (i.e. celiac, SMA, and renal arteries) to alternative arterial inflow targets (typically iliac arteries) prior to planned endograft coverage.
