Having gained experience, we can combine at the same
time the patient’s draping and anesthesia withCBCT acquisition
and the image fusion procedure to minimize loss of time
before stent graft insertion. Once the CBCT acquisition is
fused with the preacquired CTA, it can be used to guide the
accurate placement of endovascular devices.Although limited
data exist, our empiric data support claims by other authors14
that CBCT fusion reduces operating time with increasing
experience compared with standard EVAR techniques.
