Discussion & Conclusion

▪ in situ fenestration (ISF) of standard endografts

represents another off-label endovascular means

to maintain perfusion to aortic side branches

located in the excluded area

▪ First described in 2004 by McWilliams et al., Its principle is based on intentionally made fenestration of an endograft following its deployment inside the vascular system

▪ It is currently an off-label procedure that should not be used outside emergent bailout techniques
