Abstract: Endovascular repair has become the preferred strategy for the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA). In recent years, endovascular technology has developed rapidly, and innovative techniques represented by "fenestration", "chimney", and branch technology have emerged to address different types of AAA. Based on these techniques, many new types of off-the-shelf stents have also been designed. This article provides a review of the current status of endovascular repair for different anatomical types of AAA from the perspectives of technical aspects, evidence-based medicine, and clinical guidelines. It also addresses the highly concerning issue of complications.

Key words: Abdominal aortic aneurysm, Endovascular aortic repair, Fenestrated technique, Chimney technique, Branched technique
