Ischemia-induced lower extremity neurologic impairment after fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair

ObjectivePlacement of large sheaths in the iliac system during fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) leads to lower extremity (LE) ischemia that can be associated with serious neurologic complications. We sought to determine the effect of LE ischemic time on neurologic impairment after FEVAR.MethodsConsecutive patients who underwent FEVAR at a single institution were analyzed. LE ischemic time was calculated from the time of large...
