Clinical outcomes

The PROTAGORAS study1 evaluated the performance of the Endurant II/IIs stent graft for patients with pararenal pathologic processes that were treated by the chemistry/snorkel endovascular technique.

Standardised use of the Endurant II/IIs stent graft system and Radiant covered stent for ChEVAR demonstrated:

N = 128 patients1

  • 24.6 months mean radiologic follow-up (range, 0-61 months)
  • 100% technical success
  • New late onset of type Ia endoleaks: 1.6%
  • Primary patency of chimney grafts: 95.7%
  • AAA sac diameter regression/stability: 90.6%
  • Freedom from chimney graft-related reinterventions: 93.1%

Radiant covered stent shows significantly better performance in ChEVAR compared to other grafts, with 94.6% patency at midterm compared to 84.1% patency with other covered stents.2

Preparing for the case

Recommended ancillary equipment:

Soft wire for easy access to renal arteries

  • 0.035” soft Terumo GLIDEWIRE™* hydrophilic-coated guidewire

Renal wire balanced between stiffness and flexibility; atraumatic short tip

  • Cook Rosen™* wire guide

7 F sheath, 90 cm length with atraumatic tip for renal entry

  • Medtronic TourGuide™ steerable sheath 7 F, 90 cm
  • Cook Flexor™* Shuttle™* guiding sheath, Terumo Destination™* guiding sheath

Shorter 16 F sheath or larger may be used for access during a two-chimney case.

Catheter — 5 F, minimum length of 110 cm to 125 cm

Must be able to pass through and extend beyond 90 cm sheath; variety of angles to support renal cannulation; vertebral multipurpose.

Balloons

  • Medtronic Reliant™ stent graft balloon catheter to achieve good conformability of the Medtronic Endurant II/IIs stent graft system with the aortic wall and the renal stents
  • Medtronic Admiral Xtreme™ PTA balloon catheter OTW 0.035“ assist in access to renal (4 mm x 40 mm)

Inflation devices

  • 20 cc syringe
  • 20 cc inflation device equipped with manometer
