To evaluate the technical feasibility of juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair with fenestrated endovascular stent-graft A 64-year-old male was diagnosed with juxtarenal AAA with severe coronary artery stenosis, fenestrations was customized according to precise helical CT data to accommodate visceral and renal arteries. Under general anesthesia and dynamic supervision of digital subtraction angiography (DSA), juxtarenal AAA was excluded with the customized fenestrated stent-graft and balloon expandable mini stent-grafts were deployed into bilateral renal arteries respectively. After operation, DSA showed the patency of the super mesenteric artery, bilateral renal arteries and left hypogastric artery, no endoleak was found. The serum creatinine decreased slightly after operation. CT angiography revealed favorable morphology of the stent-graft without tortuosity, migration, disjoint and endoleak 10 days after the operation and patency of super mesenteric artery, bilateral renal arteries and left hyp
