Utilizing numerical simulations to prevent stent graft kinking during thoracic endovascular aortic repair

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2023
Numerical simulations of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) may be implemented in the preoperative workflow if credible and reliable. We present the application of a TEVAR simulation methodology to an 82-year-old woman with a penetrating ...

Repair of aortoesophageal fistula due to a penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer of the descending thoracic aorta and literature review

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2007
Penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer rupturing into the esophagus is rare and the resulting aortoesophageal fistula carries a high mortality. In view of the emergency nature of the entity and complexity of the procedure management of such a condition is not

Penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers of the thoracic aorta [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1989
Penetrating ulcer of the thoracic aorta is defined as an atherosclerotic lesion of the descending thoracic aorta with ulceration that penetrates the internal elastic lamina, allowing hematoma formation in the media. There is controversy whether this lesion differs from classic acute type III aortic dissection, based on its location, radiographic ...
