Completion of Target Vessel Stenting After FEVAR via Snare Technique in a Patient with Tortuous Right Renal Artery

Abstract

Target vessel catheterization remains challenging in patients with complex anatomies. Fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) is an established technique to treat aortic aneurysms. In this case report, we treated a juxtarenal aneurysm using FEVAR. Initial attempts to complete the target vessel stenting were unsuccessful because of an unfavorable orifice and tortuosity of the right renal artery. The completion of FEVAR was achieved with a bifemoral approach using a snare system, which aligned the tip of a steerable sheath at the level of the fenestration for the right renal artery to create a stable condition. Control angiography and computed tomography confirmed a successful stenting of the target vessel and the sealing of the fenestration without an endoleak.
