AB  - Access-related limitations, namely small-caliber vessels and tortuous or 
      calcified stenotic vessels, are often encountered during endovascular aneurysm 
      repair (EVAR) and thoracic EVAR (TEVAR). Overcoming these limitations often 
      requires the creation of a conduit through which the endovascular devices can be 
      delivered. If these limitations are not recognized and respected preoperatively, 
      significant morbidity and mortality may ensue because access-related 
      complications are often addressed in emergent and chaotic situations. There are a 
      variety of conduits described in the literature, each with their own advantages 
      and disadvantages. The present report explores the use of conduits during EVAR 
      and TEVAR by discussing the current literature, and the authors also describe a 
      preferred method to address unfavorable iliac anatomy through the use of 
      endoconduits.
