Laparo- and thoracoscopic aortic aneurysm neck optimization and treatment of potential endoleaks type IA and II in a porcine model

•Laparo-/thoracoscopic approaches for treating endoleaks can be simulated in a pig model.•Laparo-/thoracoscopic approaches to optimize a challenging aortic aneurysm neck can be simulated in a pig model.•Endoscopic aortic surgery is challenging and a learning curve must be expected.•A pig model with...
