     Update on Endoluminal Grafting to Exclude Abdominal

    Nearly a decade after the first successful case of endovascular exclusion of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved two devices for use in the United States. For the corporate world, this event was a monumental achievement after years of research and millions of dollars invested.

    For physicians, the access to commercially prepared devices sanctioned by the FDA has made it easier to bring this technology to their patients, who will think it nothing short of miraculous. Despite severe comorbidities that would either preclude or greatly increase their risk of classical operation, patients will receive the potential life-saving benefit of endovascular grafting with minimal discomfort and low procedural complications.

    At the Arizona Heart Institute and Hospital, more than 600 endografts have been implanted in one form or another in various anatomical and pathological situations since our program began more than 7 years ago. Based on our periprocedural and follow-up observations, as well as personal communications from investigators worldwide, endovascular graft technology has moved into its adolescence.

    Unfortunately, there are few long-term results published, and those that are feature first-generation or homemade devices. However, these outcomes are providing useful data for the device manufacturers. Comparative studies are already underway at individual centers, and multicenter trials of endograft technology versus the gold standard of resection and graft replacement will commence soon.

    What is on the horizon for the next decade? The technology will continue to improve. So significant will be the developmental refinements that the two currently approved devices will be unrecognizable in their fourth-generation iterations. Four

    or more corporate-sponsored endografts will clear the approval process soon, and the problems associated with this procedure will be either partially or completely resolved. Patient exclusion based on either anatomicopathological or device deficiencies will be minimized. In short, endovascular grafting will be the new gold standard for exclusion of aortic aneurysms!
