The aim of this report is to describe the use of a new generation balloon-expandable stent-graft (Viabahn VBX, W.L. Gore&amp;Associates, AZ, USA), in the CERAB configuration for the treatment of aorto-iliac obstructive lesions involving the infrarenal aorta and bifurcation. Technical note: This technique was adopted in two patients with severe aorto-iliac obstructive lesions. After bilateral iliac recanalization, an 11\u2009mm diameter VBX stent was deployed in the infrarenal aorta; a post-dilatation up to 16\u2009mm with a non-compliant balloon was performed to adapt the proximal edge of the stent to the aortic diameter. Two 8\u2009mm diameter VBX stents were then deployed at the aortic bifurcation in a kissing conformation, overlapping with the previously positioned aortic stent for 15\u2009mm. A post-ballooning with two kissing 12\u2009\u00d7\u200920\u2009mm compliant balloons (Powerflex Pro PTA, Cordis, CA, USA) was performed to adapt the parallel stents to the aortic cuff. A post-operative angio-CT demonstrated optimal conformability of the aortic cuff to the aortic wall, and apposition of the kissing stents to the aortic cuff.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This preliminary experience shows that the VBX stent may allow an effective reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation; the conformability and flaring capability may allow to overcome the diameter mismatch between the aorta and the iliac arteries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1708538120927847","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,11]],"date-time":"2020-06-11T03:07:31Z","timestamp":1591844851000},"page":"40-44","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The Viabahn balloon expandable stent for endovascular reconstruction of the infrarenal aorta and its bifurcation in cases of severe obstructive disease"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Michele","family":"Antonello","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Division, Padua University, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9327-2934","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"Squizzato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Division, Padua University, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michele","family":"Piazza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Division, Padua University, Padua, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1708538120927847","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2015.06.112"},{"key":"bibr2-1708538120927847","first-page":"383","volume":"54","author":"Goverde P","year":"2013","journal-title":"J Cardiovasc Surg"},{"key":"bibr3-1708538120927847","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2013.12.026"},{"key":"bibr4-1708538120927847","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2016.07.128"},{"key":"bibr5-1708538120927847","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.avsg.2007.12.013"},{"key":"bibr6-1708538120927847","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2008.06.027"},{"key":"bibr7-1708538120927847","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2016.04.003"},{"key":"bibr8-1708538120927847","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2017.09.015"},{"key":"bibr9-1708538120927847","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1526602817720463"},{"key":"bibr10-1708538120927847","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1526602817725056"}],"container-title":["Vascular"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1708538120927847","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/1708538120927847","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1708538120927847","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,2]],"date-time":"2026-05-02T07:33:17Z","timestamp":1777707197000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/1708538120927847"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,11]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/1708538120927847"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1708538120927847","relation":{},"ISSN":["1708-5381","1708-539X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1708-5381","type":"print"},{"value":"1708-539X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,11]]}}}
