Background: To review the aortic neck characteristics, graft types, and technical results of Palmaz stent placement as an adjunct to endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).

Methods: A retrospective review of 110 consecutive EVAR cases identified 18 cases in which Palmaz stents were placed as an adjunct to EVAR. Graft types, hostile aortic neck features (neck diameter: >26 mm, length: <15 mm, angulation: >60°, reverse taper necks), and treatment success were identified.

Results: Technical success in the placement of a proximal Palmaz stent was achieved in 17 of 18 cases. Palmaz stenting was attempted for the treatment of type I endoleak in 17 of 18 patients. One prophylactic stent was deployed in the setting of hostile neck anatomy. Proximal stent deployment resulted in immediate treatment success of type I endoleaks in 16 of 17 patients-one failure occurred in a patient who pr...
