What is branched & fenestrated repair?

Branch and fenestrated repair is ways of fixing the segment of the aorta that involves branches that feed the intestine, the kidneys, and then go on to divide to each leg. It's very important to not only put the graft in, but also to accommodate all the branches that come off the aorta. And we cannot obviously cover those branches and stop the blood from flowing through them. So these grafts have special holes and special branches or arms extend out of the main device to accommodate those branches, those branches of the aorta. And this is really a great innovation or development in the field of repair of the aorta or endovascular repair that allowed us to offer this treatment in the last five to ten years.
