Background/Objectives: Fenestrated and branched endovascular aortic repair (F/BEVAR) is increasingly used for the treatment of complex aortic aneurysms, and is traditionally performed under general anesthesia (GA). Data on the use of local anesthesia (LA) for F/BEVAR remain limited. This study aimed to report early outcomes of F/BEVAR performed under LA versus GA, with a focus on feasibility and perioperative complications in a high-risk patient population. Methods: This single-center retrospect
