About this trial

The aim of this randomized study is to compare the safety and performance of EndoVascular Aneurysm Repair with ESAR using Endurant + Heli-FX™ EndoAnchor™ system and FEVAR using customizable grafts from Cook (Zenith Fenestrated Graft) and Terumo (Fenestrated Anaconda Graft) for the treatment of aortic aneurysms with short aortic neck (4 to 15mm).

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Subject is not a candidate for safe, effective and durable standard EVAR due to challenging anatomical criteria as confirmed by the Core Lab screening

Subject is able and willing to comply with the protocol and to adhere to the follow-up requirements.
