Abstract
Aortic distal occlusion has been usually treated by open surgery. A persisting patent and overdeveloped inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) suggests a significant participation in the bowel circulation. Coverage of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) origin could compromise the bowel circulation. Covered endovascular reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation (CERAB) is a proven and guideline-suggested alternative for revascularization of the distal aortic occlusion. CERAB associated to a snorkel to the IMA aims to reduce the risk of bowel ischemia keeping and percutaneous and minimal invasive approach.
