Why the study?
Are off-the-shelf or physician-modified fenestrated and branched endografts effective and safe for the treatment of complex aortic aneurysms?
Are off-the-shelf or physician-modified fenestrated and branched endografts effective and safe for the treatment of complex aortic aneurysms?
Off-the-shelf and physician-modified fenestrated and branched endografts appear effective and safe for complex aortic aneurysms, though randomized trials are needed to determine true limitations.
May support use for complex aortic aneurysms; leaves open definitive efficacy pending randomized trials.
Off-the-shelf and physician-modified technology seems effective and safe, in both the elective and acute settings, for the treatment of complex aortic aneurysms. Future research within a randomized trial should investigate the true limitations of these devices.
