“…However, a review of the literature shows that a great number of documented ischemic complications after treatment of an already established T2E are related with the use of these materials as embolic agents. 9 - 12 , 38 Moreover one of the most recent studies, published by Branzan et al, 19 states that these agents were strictly prohibited because they could cause non-target ischemic damage. Therefore, the very low rate of ischemic complications found in this systematic review could be related to the use of appropriate embolization materials and avoiding use of agents that could increase the risk of ischemia due to migration.…”

The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the safety of pre-endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) embolization of aortic side branches - the inferior mesenteric artery and lumbar arteries. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines were followed. A search of MEDLINE and DIMENSION databases identified 9 studies published from 2011 to 2021 that satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria. These studies were analyzed to detect the incidence of embolization-related complications. A total of 482 patients underwent preoperative aortic side branch embolization, 30 (6.2%) of whom suffered some kind of minor complication. The only major complication observed was ischemic colitis in 4 (0.82%) patients, two (0.41%) of whom died after bowel resection surgery. Regarding these findings, aortic side branch embolization seems to be a safe procedure, with very low percentages of both minor and major complications.
