Development of fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair, FEVAR.
In 1996, Mr. Thomas Francis Browne invented the fenestrated endovascular graft. During that year he conceptualized, designed and carried out the necessary in vitro and in vivo work that led to the development of a fenestrated covered suprarenal aortic stent. Browne T, et al. (1997) This breakthrough in vascular surgery addressed the challenge of inadequate neck length in abdominal aortic aneurysms. The innovation preserved blood flow to targeted renal arteries while providing improved anchorage and sealing for endovascular aortic grafts. To maintain blood flow in the renal and visceral arteries, the covered stent was crafted using Dacron material with precisely positioned fenestrations based on preoperative imaging. Initial testing in canine models demonstrated its effectiveness; Vessel patency was preserved and Endoleaks were avoided. This advancement laid the groundwork for later developments, such as Iliac branched endovascular aortic repair (BEVAR). This work was done in collaboration with Michael Lawrence-Brown and David Hartley. The first patent was acquired in Australia on the 10th December 1997 app no PP083.
