Popular Abstract in Swedish Inledning/introduktion: Öppen rekonstruktion av aorta innebär en påtaglig risk för postoperativa komplikationer och dödlighet, särskilt i den äldre befolkningen och i dem som är mindre lämpliga för en sådan stor operation. Endovaskulär aorta kirurgi förefaller säker, hållbar och effektiv när det finns tillräcklig proximal och distal tätningszon för en stentgraft. FenestIntroduction: Open repair of the aorta carries a high risk for morbidity and mortality especially in the elderly population and in patients unfit for major surgery. Endovascular aortic repair is safe, durable and effective when there is adequate proximal and distal sealing zone for the aortic stent graft. Fenestrated and branched stent grafts have made the repair possible for complex but elective
