1 In situ laser fenestration during emergent thoracic endovascular aortic repair is an effective method for left subclavian artery revascularization  Richard E. Redlinger, MD, Sadaf S.

2 Fig 1 Left, The laser catheter is placed at the ostium of the left subclavian artery (LSA) perpendicular to the endograft over a inch wire. To create a clean, circular fenestration, the laser fiber should ideally be oriented at a 90° angle to the endograft. Right, After laser activation, the laser catheter is advanced through the endograft. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2013 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 The laser fiber is gently advanced to make contact with the Dacron endograft, followed by laser energy application for 3 to 5 seconds to create the fenestration. An inch wire is advanced through the laser catheter and fenestration into the endograft lumen and exchanged for a stiff inch wire.

4 Fig 3 The iCAST stent is deployed from the brachial access approximately one-quarter into the endograft lumen and three-quarters into the branch vessel. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2013 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
