Introduction
The Tian Fu Symposium (TFS 2024) convened from May 17-18, 2024, in Chengdu, bringing together leading experts in the field of vascular surgery to share the latest advancements and insights. Professor Chi Chui from the Third People’s Hospital of Chengdu presented his cutting-edge strategies for the endoluminal treatment of visceral branch aortic lesions at the event. His session emphasized the innovative use of chimney and fenestration techniques, which have significantly improved surgical outcomes and reduced the incidence of endoleaks.
Current Techniques and Challenges
1. Technological Advancements and Clinical Applications:
• Since its introduction by Greenberg et al. in 2003, the chimney graft technique has become a cornerstone in managing complex peri-renal abdominal aortic lesions, known for its high success rate especially in emergency situations, despite some challenges with endoleaks and long-term maintenance .
2. Diverse Treatment of Aortic Lesions:
• The treatment of visceral branch aortic lesions requires a variety of endoluminal techniques due to the diverse vascular characteristics and pathology. Techniques such as branching, fenestration, and octopus are tailored based on factors like vessel thickness, orifice position, branch shape, and the extent of involvement .
Comparative Techniques and Future Directions
1. Techniques Comparison:
• The presentation evaluated various endoluminal techniques including chimney, fenestration, and octopus techniques, focusing on their efficacy in managing complex aortic lesions, particularly their impact on reducing endoleaks and enhancing long-term outcomes .
2. Future Outlook:
• The continuous advancement in endoluminal techniques promises broader applications for treating more complex aortic lesions, enhancing safety and efficacy especially in emergency and high-risk patients .
Key Clinical Insights and Innovations
1. Key Insights:
• Key insights shared by Professor Chui emphasized the importance of selecting appropriate techniques based on specific lesion characteristics and patient conditions, highlighting the transformative impact of new technologies on treatment outcomes .
2. Innovative Applications:
• The session also discussed innovative applications of new technologies in vascular surgery, particularly for traditionally challenging lesions .
