PURPOSE: To evaluate the anatomic suitability of the Zenith pivot branch (p-branch) fenestrated device in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAA). METHODS: Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images of 206 patients (mean age 75±8 years; 175 men) with rAAA were evaluated in a dedicated 3-dimensional vascular workstation. All aneurysms found unsuitable for standard infrarenal repair were evaluated for Zenith p-branch suitability according to the Investigational Device Exemption protocol for both device configurations (A, pivot fenestrations at the same level; B, right renal fenestration located more cranially). RESULTS: The suitability of the p-branch (A or B configuration) for short neck aneurysms (<15 mm; n=89) was 49%; of the 26 different combinations of exclusion criteria, a mismatch between a renal artery takeoff and the positioning of the corresponding fenestration was the most common. For juxta- and pararenal aneurysms (neck length <10 mm; n=66), suitability was 48%. Suitability assessed by target vessel positioning only (excluding all other limiting factors) was 58% for short neck aneurysms (n=52) and 55% for juxta- and pararenal aneurysms (n=36). CONCLUSION: Approximately half of patients with short neck rAAAs would be suitable for the Zenith p-branch fenestrated device according to the instructions for use. In almost 60%, the pivot fenestrations can accommodate the corresponding target vessels. More studies are needed to confirm these findings.
目的:评估Zenith枢轴分支(p分支)开窗型装置在破裂腹主动脉瘤(rAAA)中的解剖学适用性。 方法:在专用的三维血管工作站中评估206例rAAA患者(平均年龄75±8岁;175例男性)的增强计算机断层扫描(CT)图像。根据研究器械豁免方案,对所有被认为不适合标准肾下修复的动脉瘤,针对两种装置配置(A,枢轴开窗位于同一水平;B,右肾开窗位置更高)评估Zenith p分支的适用性。 结果:p分支(A或B配置)对短颈动脉瘤(<15 mm;n = 89)的适用性为49%;在26种不同的排除标准组合中,肾动脉起始与相应开窗位置不匹配是最常见的。对于近肾和肾旁动脉瘤(颈部长度<10 mm;n = 66),适用性为48%。仅通过目标血管定位评估的适用性(排除所有其他限制因素),短颈动脉瘤(n = 52)为58%,近肾和肾旁动脉瘤(n = 36)为55%。 结论:根据使用说明,约一半的短颈rAAA患者适合使用Zenith p分支开窗型装置。在近60%的患者中,枢轴开窗可容纳相应的目标血管。需要更多研究来证实这些发现。
