Abstract

Complete endovascular arch replacement by in situ fenestration technique requires maintenance of cerebral perfusion during the fenestration procedure by an extracorporeal femoral-carotid bypass. The bypass has the disadvantages of being invasive, requiring a pump and shunting blood extracorporeally. This report describes bench testing and an in vivo experimental animal setup with an endovascular, temporary introducer shunt. This technique represents an adjunctive step toward a complete endovascular repair for the aortic arch.
