AB - An 84-year-old man with a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm was treated using a fenestrated stent graft with a preloaded guidewire system under local anesthesia. He suffered from severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We successfully placed 4 bridging stent grafts for perfusion of the celiac artery, superior mesenteric artery, and bilateral renal arteries via the 4 fenestrations. A preloaded wire system was used to insert a catheter into the celiac artery from the left brachial artery. Our findings indicate that a fenestrated stent graft with a preloaded wire system may expand the indication for treating thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms in high-risk patients.
