Direct access of ascending aorta for endograft delivery in the descending thoracic aorta

Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques, 2020
First-line therapy for aneurysm, dissection, or rupture of the descending thoracic aorta is now by the endovascular approach. Retrograde insertion of the endograft, through access from the femoral arteries, is the preferred approach. This case presents a
