Novel Technique for Intentional Occlusion of Directional Branches During Complex Endovascular Aortic Repair Using Microvascular Plugs.

Use of the MVP appears to be feasible and effective for intentional occlusion of DB during complex endovascular aortic repair. This novel and simple technique may present some unique technical advantages, allowing precise placement of the device while avoiding extension using a bridging stent and DB cannulation with larger sheaths.
