Brief Summary
Fenestrated endovascular repair (FEVAR) is nowadays a recognized option to treat juxtarenal, pararenal or suprarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms in patients at high risk for conventional repair. The technique consists in deploying a custom-made stent-graft (SG) inside the patient aorta. Part of the customization involves cauterizing a hole in SG fabric and reinforcing it with a Nitinol stent ring, thereby creating a fenestration for each corresponding collateral artery. For this reason, preoperative planning is crucial to determine adequate positions of fenestrations, in order to obtain perfect alignment with the collateral arteries of the patient. Inadequate positioning may result in failure to catheterize a collateral artery and subsequent organ damage, increased catheterizing time, increased irradiation dose, endoleaks… The current process of fenestrations positioning for fenestrated anacondaTM SG involves: (i) anatomical measurements on patient preoperative CT-scan by case planners using dedicated sizing software; (ii) designing an initial custom device scheme with its positioned fenestrations, created by engineers with CAD software using the above cited measurements and (iii) validation of fenestrations position by in vitro testing using a SG prototype deployed inside a transparent anatomy model (3D-printed model of patient aorta and collateral arteries). The main limitations of this process are the costs and long SG delivery time.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Vascutek in vitro validation test and the numerical simulation
To compare Vascutek in vitro validation test and the numerical simulation (Predisurge). The proportion of fenestrations is less or equal to 2.5mm will be calculated.
Months: 18
Secondary Outcomes (2)
initial and final stent-graft designs obtained from Vascutek
Months: 18
stent-graft designs obtained from simulation of deployment
Months: 18
Study Arms (1)
abdominal aortic aneurysms treated by fenestrated endovascular
Patients have an abdominal aortic aneurysms treated by fenestrated endovascular anacondaTM of society Vascutek will be included. Predisurge society will perform numerical simulation.
Interventions
After patients have been treated by fenestrated endovascular of society Vascutek data will be collected by society Vascutek and send to Predisurge society. They will perform numerical simulation and compare with the method of Vascutek.
Eligibility Criteria
Patients have an abdominal aortic aneurysms treated by fenestrated endovascular anacondaTM of society Vascutek will be included.
You may qualify if:
- \- abdominal aortic aneurysms suitable for treatment using Fenestrated AnacondaTM (Vascutek) device
You may not qualify if:
- failure to generate an adequate FE model of patient arteries (no preoperative multidetector contrast-enhanced CT-scan available, preoperative CT-scan slice thickness greater than 1mm, preoperative CT-scan with artifacts)
- stent-graft setup implanted during the surgical procedure has been modified compared to preoperative planning
- patient refusing to participate to the study
