All patients consecutively treated with a fenestrated Anaconda device between January 2019 and May 2024 were included. Outcomes analysed included technical success (TS), procedure related death, occurrence of major adverse events (MAEs) and target vessel instability (TVI), type Ia endoleak (T1aEL), abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) related re-interventions, sac changes, and death.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Two hundred and ten patients were treated with the Anaconda stent graft. The mean AAA diameter was 60.4 ± 9.4 mm, with a mean of 3.9 ± 0.6 fenestrations per patient for a total of 816 target vessels (TVs). TS was 96.2% (202/210), MAEs occurred in 6.2% of patients (13/210), and procedure related mortality was 2.9% (6/210). The mean follow up was 24.0 ± 18.3 months.
