The Fate of the Superior Mesenteric Artery in Fenestrated Endovascular Repair of Complex Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Yongcheng Xu, Yukun Li Abstract Issues related to the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) in fenestrated endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (f-EVAR), such as misalignment of the endograft and bridging devices-associated complications, are rarely reported. Moreover, the absence of autopsies in the majority of patients who died in the published series makes a possible correlation with occlusion
