In branched endovascular repair, there is still debate regarding the best Bridging Covered Stent (BCS) to use, namely between Self-Expanding Covered Stent (SECS) and Balloon-Expandable Covered Stent (BECS). The purpose of this study was to assess the primary Target Vascular (TV) patency in patients receiving t-Branch treatment and to pinpoint elements affecting results. Patients treated with the t-Branch between 2014 and 2019 were included in a retrospective research. The primary patency (right renal artery, left renal artery, superior mesenteric artery, celiac trunk) during the follow-up was the endpoint. Every instance of branch instability was evaluated. Using Kaplan-Meier analyses and multivariable regression models, the factors influencing the patency were identified. A total of 2018 TVs, including 1542 SECSs and 476 BECSs, were examined. The first month had no further events, an.. View More»
