Physician-modified four-fenestration endograft: The first case in Türkiye

IİIlker İNCEİCİsa CivelekCGCeylan Gürcan

Key Points

  • To introduce and evaluate the first physician-modified four-fenestration endograft procedure for aortic repair in Türkiye.
  • Endovascular technique employed for aortic repair
  • Four fenestrations created to revascularize visceral branches
  • Custom physician-modified graft utilized in procedure
  • All four visceral branches successfully revascularized
  • Complete exclusion of the aneurysm achieved
  • Patient showed uneventful recovery
  • One-month follow-up confirmed graft integrity and patency of all branches

Abstract

Endovascular repair has become a standardized approach for aortic diseases, but visceral branch involvement presents major technical challenges. Fenestrated repair allows aneurysm exclusion while maintaining organ perfusion, though custom-made devices are costly and often unavailable in urgent settings. We report the first physician-modified four-fenestration endograft (PMEG) procedure performed in Türkiye for a contained rupture of the visceral aorta. All four visceral branches were successfully revascularized with full exclusion of the aneurysm. The patient had an uneventful recovery, and one-month control computed tomography angiography confirmed complete graft integrity and patency of all visceral branches.
