Endovascular Repair of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms

1999
The detection of thoracic aortic aneurysms has increased since the early 1970s along with the overall increasing prevalence of aneurysmal disease in our aging population. Frequently, patients with thoracic aneurysms have additional serious medical co-morbidities that make them high risk surgical candidates.

Endovascular Repair of Traumatic Thoracic Aortic Disruption

Perspectives in Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy, 2006
In a patient with multiple trauma, blunt thoracic trauma with concomitant aortic disruption is often eminently lethal, ranking second to head injury as the most common cause of trauma-related deaths. Open surgical repair of the aortic lesion has morbidity and mortality rates that are among the highest in the field of cardiovascular surgery.

Endovascular Repair of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms

2012
Endovascular treatment of aortic disease has emerged as an alternative mode of treatment that is particularly attractive for patients with severe comorbidities who would not be ideal candidates for open surgery. Actually, short-term morbidity and mortality rates, of large series, compare favorably with those from surgery, and stent-graft placement is ...

Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair for Aortobronchial Fistula

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2013
The objective was to provide a systematic review of outcomes of thoracic endovascular aortic repair for aortobronchial fistula. A literature search identified 134 patients. The technical success rate was 93.2%. The overall 30-day mortality was 5.9%. After a mean follow-up of 17.4 months, the aortic-related mortality was 14.3%.

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 ...

Endovascular Repair of Blunt Thoracic Aortic Injuries

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2009
Blunt traumatic aortic injury is a highly fatal injury caused from rapid deceleration of the thorax. Most victims do not survive to obtain emergency medical care. Immediate open surgical repair had been the standard of care for decades, but more recent strategies and the emergence of thoracic aortic endografting have changed protocols for the treatment
