Fenestrated EVAR (FEVAR) is an option for people with abdominal aortic aneurysms who don’t qualify for EVAR (about 10% of patients) because the aneurysm is too close to the arteries that branch off to the kidneys for the traditional EVAR to work. This minimally invasive procedure enables surgeons to repair the aorta, the body's main artery, through small incisions in the groin, or arms. What sets FEVAR apart is its ability to preserve blood flow to essential branch arteries leading to the kidneys and other organs.
