The GORE EXCLUDER Conformable abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) Endoprosthesis (CEXC), is currently the newest stent-graft system for treating patients with AAA. CEXC is approved for patients with proximal aortic neck angles ≤90° with a ≥15 mm aortic neck length or proximal aortic neck angles ≤60° with ≥10 mm aortic neck length. The present study describes a clinical series of 5 males with AAA, one of whom had a ruptured infrarenal AAA and a 90° proximal aortic neck angle. All patients were treated with 100% technical success using the CEXC device. Dosimetric data were recorded regarding the total kerma-area product and total fluoroscopy time. During the 30-day follow-up, no device migration or failure was detected, whereas type Ib and II endoleaks were observed in two patients. The type Ib endoleak required re-intervention with limb extension placement, and the type II endoleak was treated with lumbar artery embolization. This clinical series showed that CEXC has no technical defects or AAA-related mortality. We also reviewed the current knowledge on CEXC’s clinical outcomes, showing promising technical and clinical results in some studies, even outside the instructions for use. CEXC expands the vascular surgeons’ armamentarium against hostile neck anatomy, as it is the only repositionable endovascular aneurysm repair device available. Multicenter, long-term outcome studies should confirm the promising preliminary results of our case series and the literature review.

The ALTO abdominal stent graft system (Endologix Inc., Irvine, CA, USA) is a latest-generation polymer-based device used to treat patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms. The present study describes the first case series of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms, including two patients with juxtarenal aneurysms, treated using the ALTO stent graft system. Six males were treated using the ALTO device at a single public center. All procedures were uneventful, and the dosimetric results recorded in terms of kerma-area product and fluoroscopy time were similar to those reported in previous studies. At the 1-month follow-up, computed tomography angiography showed no evidence of endoleak, device migration, thrombosis, or structural graft failure. This clinical series demonstrates that the use of the ALTO stent graft system is associated with promising patient outcomes. Lifelong postoperative imaging surveillance may highlight possible late failures and suggest potential graft improvements.
