Hostile Neck Anatomy
• Neck length <15mm • Neck diameter >32mm• Neck angulation >60 degrees• Necks with significant mural calcium or
thrombus • Conical necks

EVAR Outside of Company IFUs• FDA database analysis of 10,228 patients treated with
approved EVAR devices between 1999 and 2008
• 31- 58% of patients fell outside IFU compliance
• Most due to hostile neck anatomy

• Significant increase (p=0.02) in late type 1 endoleaks in hostile neck anatomy (9.5%) compared to favourable neck anatomy (4.5%)
• Significant increase (p<0.01) in total interventions in HNA (22.8%) compared to FNA (11.0%)

• Meta-analysis of 7 observational studies involving 1559 patients
• HNA patients had a fourfold increased risk of developing a late type 1 endoleak (OR 4.563) compared to FNA
• HNA patients had a ninefold increased risk of ARM within 1 year of treatment (OR 9.378)

EVR Approach to Neck Angulation > 60o
• Commercially available devices all outside IFU• Breaking IFU rules on proximal neck angulation
carries a risk of serious complications (type 1A endoleak, migration)

EVR Approach to Neck Angulation > 60o
• I have preferred to use a tube graft to treat the angulated infra-renal neck
• This minimizes the risk of kinking in the angulated segment• A proximal cuff/Palmaz stent may be needed to achieve
seal• A conventional bifurcated graft is then deployed into the
tube graft within the aneurysm to exclude it• Supra-renal stents may be counter-productive, especially
with there is angulation between the supra and infra-renal segment

EVR Approach to Iliac Angulation• Conventional endograft limbs based on Z-stent designs
have performed sub-optimally in cases with severe iliac artery angulation or tortuosity
• In these cases, I have opted to use a composite graft solution, utilizing ring or helical stent support in the limbs

• Treatment of patients with complex anatomy for EVAR remains challenging
• Severely angulated infra-renal necks and tortuous iliac arteries are outside the IFU of most current EVR devices
• Aorfix is a useful tool to expand the range of treatable patients and allows more to be treated on-label
• The Aorfix™ Pythagoras IDE trial demonstrates encouraging results in angled necks and challenging anatomy
