Endovascular Repair of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms

Recent Patents on Cardiovascular Drug Discovery, 2009
A thoracic aortic aneurysm is a potentially life-threatening condition that involves a structural weakness of the aortic wall, which can lead to aneurysm, rupture, or dissection. Optimal treatment strategies for lesions of the thoracic aorta are still controversial.

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair for an ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2020
An 80-year-old woman underwent aortic valve replacement and ascending aortic replacement. Two years later, computed tomography revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta replaced with a prosthesis. The pseudoaneurysm arose from the stump of a side branch of the prosthesis.

Endovascular Repair of Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms

Advances in Surgery, 2022
Descending thoracic aortic aneurysms (DTAAs) are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly. Once diagnosed, they should be surveilled and then repaired at a diameter of 5.5 to 6 cm, depending on the individual patient's physiologic and anatomic risk of repair.

Endovascular repair of traumatic thoracic aortic tears

The American Journal of Surgery, 2012
Patients with thoracic aorta injuries (TAI) present a unique challenge. The purpose of this study was to review the outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in patients with TAI.A retrospective chart review of all patients admitted for TEVAR for trauma was performed.In a 5-year period, 19 patients (6 women and 13 men; average age, 42 y ...

Endovascular repair in management of thoracic aortic aneurysms

The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2006
Aneurysms of the thoracic aorta are still potentially life-threatening situations. The conventional operation is still associated with morbidity. Endovascular stent graft repair offers an alternative to conventional operation for management of aortic diseases.

Transapical Endovascular Repair of Thoracic Aortic Pathology

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2017
Alternative access for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been explored for patients with unsuitable femoral and iliac access, but few cases of transapical access have been described. We report our experience with transapical access for various aortic pathologies.We reviewed 6 cases undergoing transapical access for endovascular repair of ...

Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair in Octogenarians and Nonagenarians

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2020
The oldest segments of the population are expanding rapidly, and the number of thoracic endovascular aortic repairs (TEVARs) performed in the elderly parallels this trend. We describe our institutional TEVAR experience in octogenarians and nonagenarians.All patients 80 years and older undergoing TEVAR at a single institution were reviewed using a ...

Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair for Penetrating Aortic Trauma

Annals of Vascular Surgery
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) reduced mortality for blunt aortic injury (BAI) from 30-50% to 40% mortality). This study's goal is to determine outcomes of TEVAR for PAI.Patients undergoing TEVAR for traumatic aortic injuries were identified from the Vascular Quality Initiative database from 2011 to 2022.

Neurological Complications of Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2011
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has decreased the morbidity and mortality associated with open surgical repair of descending thoracic aortic diseases, but important complications unique to the procedure remain. Spinal cord ischemia and infarction is a recognized complication caused by endovascular coverage or injury to spinal cord ...
