    THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE WAS REVIEWED: ¿OUTCOMES OF FENESTRATED-BRANCHED ENDOVASCULAR AORTIC REPAIR IN PATIENTS WITH A SOLITARY FUNCTIONAL KIDNEY¿; KEOUNA PATHER, M.D.; EMANUEL TENORIO, M.D.; JUSSI KÄRKKÄINEN, M.D.; BERNARDO MENDES, M.D.;RANDALL DEMARTINO, M.D.; THANILA MACEDO, M.D.; PETER GLOVICZKI, M.D.; GUSTAVO S. ODERICH, M.D.; FROM THE MIDWESTERN VASCULAR SURGICAL SOCIETY; PRESENTED SEPTEMBER 12, 2019; COPYRIGHT 2019 BY THE SOCIETY FOR VASCULAR SURGERY. PUBLISHED BY ELSEVIER INC.; HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.1016/J.JVS.2019.10.062. THE AIM OF THIS PROSPECTIVE, NONRANDOMIZED STUDY WAS TO EVALUATE OUTCOMES OF FENESTRATED-BRANCHED ENDOVASCULAR AORTIC REPAIR (F-BEVAR) OF PARARENAL ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSMS OR THORACOABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSMS (TAAAS) IN PATIENTS WITH A SOLITARY FUNCTIONAL KIDNEY (SFK), COMPARING IT WITH A CONTROL GROUP OF PATIENTS WHO HAVE TWO FUNCTIONING KIDNEYS. THE STUDY INCLUDES 287 CONSECUTIVE PATIENTS (206 MALE; MEAN AGE, 74 YEARS OLD) AND WAS CONDUCTED BETWEEN NOVEMBER 2013 AND OCTOBER 2018. GORE® VIABAHN® VBX BALLOON EXPANDABLE ENDOPROSTHESES (VBX DEVICES) WERE IMPLANTED AS THE MAIN RENAL DIRECTIONAL BRANCH BRIDGING STENTS IN SIX SKF PATIENTS AND 51 FOR THE CONTROL GROUP; GORE® VIABAHN® ENDOPROSTHESES (VSX DEVICES) WERE IMPLANTED IN FIVE SKF PATIENTS AND 51 OF THE CONTROL GROUP. ADDITIONAL DEVICES USED WERE ICAST, WITH ONE FOR SKF PATIENT; SIX FOR CONTROL GROUP AND FOR ADJUNCTIVE BARE METAL STENTS, FOUR WERE FOR SKF PATIENTS; 42 FOR CONTROL GROUP. FOR ACCESSORY RENAL DIRECTIONAL BRANCHES BRIDGING STENTS, THERE WERE TWO IMPLANTS FOR THE CONTROL GROUP. FOR MAIN RENAL FENESTRATIONS BRIDGING STENTS, ICAST DEVICES WERE USED. THE ARTICLE STATES RENAL ARTERY INCORPORATED BY DIRECTIONAL BRANCHES HAD SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER RATES OF BRANCH INSTABILITY AS COMPARED WITH THOSE INCORPORATED BY FENESTRATIONS, MOSTLY OWING TO HIGHER RATES OF STENOSIS AND TYPE IC ENDOLEAKS. THE ARTICLE DOES NOT SPECIFY WHICH DEVICES WERE INVOLVED, SINCE ICAST AND ADJUNCTIVE BARE METAL STENTS WERE ALSO USED. THE ARTICLE IDENTIFIED PATIENT 11 WITH STENT OCCLUSIONS AND RE-INTERVENTION POTENTIALLY INVOLVING A GORE® VIABAHN® VBX BALLOON EXPANDABLE ENDOPROSTHESIS.
