Research Abstract

The Covered Endovascular Reconstruction of the Aortic Bifurcation (CERAB) reconstruction is an endovascular technique, developed to reconstruct the aortic bifurcation in the most optimal anatomical and physiological manner. Short-term data were promising, but long-term data are still lacking. The objective was to report the long-term outcomes of CERAB for extensive aorto-iliac occlusive disease and to identify predictors for loss of primary patency.

Methods

Consecutive electively treated patients with CERAB for aorto-iliac occlusive disease in a single hospital were identified and analyzed. Baseline and procedural data and follow-up were collected at 6-weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and annually thereafter. Technical success, procedural, and 30-day complications were evaluated, as well as overall survival. Patency and freedom from target lesion revascularization rates were analyzed using Kaplan …
