Objectives Studies on the short-, medium and long-term effects of flow guiding stents are still limited. In this case report, we present three-year follow-up of the multilayer flow modulator stent in a 55-year-old patient with Crawford Type 2 thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. Methods A 55-year-old male patient with Crawford Type 2 thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm had applied to our medical center. The aneurysm involved coeliac truncus and superior mesenteric artery and extended to the renal artery ostia. Multilayer flow modulator stent was successfully placed, and follow-up CT (Computed tomography) angiographic examination images recorded intermittently (36 months). Results After three years, it was observed that the left renal artery was thrombosed and the left kidney went to atrophy. Other major vascular branches were observed to be open. During this time, the aneurysm was completely closed with thrombus, but the diameter of the aneurysm continued to increase. Conclusions Multilayer flow modulator stents are safe in complex aortic aneurysms. The device increases the thrombus load in the aortic aneurysm and maintains the flow of the main vascular branches. But re-interventions, dilatation of the aneurysm sac and visceral branch obstructions are still challenging for multilayer flow modulator stents.

Purpose: To report an unusual endovascular technique to manage unfavorable renal artery anatomy encountered in an urgent case of symptomatic postdissection thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) treated with an off-the-shelf multibranched device. Technique: The technique is demonstrated in a 77-year-old woman who had a history of previous open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and an emergent procedure to implant a thoracic endograft and an aortic bare Z-stent (PETTICOAT) for acute Stanford type B dissection 7 years prior. The patient presented with a symptomatic, rapidly growing, postdissection TAAA. Endovascular treatment with a Zenith t-Branch was planned. After standard catheterization techniques failed in the left renal artery, a bailout maneuver was utilized to place a “floating” Viabahn stent-graft in the aneurysm sac to create sufficient support to deliver the bridging stent-grafts through the bare stent to the target left renal artery. The procedure was successful in excluding the TAAA and preserving perfusion to all target vessels. No neurological complications occurred. Six-month imaging follow-up confirmed the patency of the bridging stents. Conclusion: Remodeling changes after complex endovascular TAAA procedures often require the use of innovative techniques and materials during secondary procedures. In this case, the presence of a post-PETTICOAT bare aortic stent and hostile target artery anatomy increased the technical difficulty of t-Branch implantation. A “floating” stent-graft could be useful to reach challenging target vessels by providing additional support to bridging stent advancement and deployment.
