Intercostal/lumbar embolization can be a technically challenging procedure due to the number of vessels and multiple projections required for cannulation, leading to long procedure times and high radiation/contrast dosing, sometimes requiring multiple sessions to complete. Non-radiation-based imaging modalities such as Lumiguide Fiber Optic RealShape (FORS) by Philips has demonstrated reduction of contrast/fluoroscopy for performance of B/FEVAR and can be particularly useful for procedures requiring multiple imaging views and the resulting high fluoroscopy times/radiation dose.

However, patients with a continuous anastomosis had higher risks of additional reinforcement during hospitalization (43.3% pledgeted vs 72.9% continuous; P = .002).
