Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair [PDF]
Since the introduction of aortic stent grafting for the treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms, thoracic endoascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has gained rapid clinical doption as a less invasive technique compared to open urgical repair. Nevertheless, open thoracic aneurysm reair remains the gold standard for thoracic aneurysm reatment but is associated ...

Endovascular Repair of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms [PDF]
Degenerative aneurysms of the thoracic aorta are increasing in prevalence; open repair of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Repair of isolated descending thoracic aortic aneurysms using stent grafts was introduced in 1995, and in an anatomically suitable subgroup of patients with thoracic ...

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair for thoracic aortic mobile thrombus [PDF]
Thoracic aortic mobile thrombus is a rare and significant source of peripheral, visceral, as well as cerebral emboli. A 51-year-old female with a history of emergency left brachial artery embolectomy 5 months previously was referred to our unit for evaluation of a mobile thrombus in the descending thoracic aorta.

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair with true-false-true lumen deployment
Endovascular treatment of aortic dissection may be complicated by challenges to navigating the true lumen. In this report, we describe treatment of a type B dissection after open type A repair with aneurysmal degeneration, a short-segment occluded true ...
