Endovascular Aortic Repair For Thoracic Aortic Injuries
Traumatic aortic injury (TAI) or aortic transection is the second most common cause of death after blunt trauma. The conventional management approach towards a thoracic aortic injury is open thoracotomy and surgical repair; however, there is a recent increase in the trend towards the use of endovascular approach in this regard, particularly in the ...

Readmissions after thoracic endovascular aortic repair [PDF]
The care of patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) can be resource intensive, which can be driven by readmissions. Our objective was to characterize index readmissions at 30, 90, and 180 days after TEVAR.A retrospective analysis of the Nationwide Readmissions Database was performed for patients who underwent TEVAR in 2013 ...

Endovascular repair for acute traumatic transection of the descending thoracic aorta: experience of a single centre with a 12-years follow up [PDF]
Background: Most blunt aortic injuries occur in the proximal proximal descending aorta causing acute transection of this vessel. Generally, surgical repair of the ruptured segment of aorta is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality and in

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 ...

Computational fluid dynamicaccuracy in mimicking changes in blood hemodynamics in patients with acute type IIIb aortic dissection treated with TEVAR [PDF]
Background: We aimed to verify the accuracy of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) algorithm for blood flow reconstruction for type IIIb aortic dissection (TBAD) before and after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair: The basics [PDF]
Endografting for the treatment of thoracic aortic pathology continues to gain popularity; in some countries, numbers of endovascular aortic repairs now exceed those of open surgical cases. The skills and understanding of open surgical teams are not always translated into endovascular intervention teams, which may be led by cardiologists or vascular ...

Thoracic aorta cardiac-cycle related dynamic changes assessed with a 256-slice CT scanner [PDF]
Objective: The aim of our study was to demonstrate whether the dynamic changes previously documented at the ascending and abdominal aorta are replicated at the thoracic aorta.

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair for traumatic aortic transection [PDF]
Traumatic transection of the thoracic aorta is a highly morbid injury. Treatment may be delayed while attention focuses on concomitant injuries. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is effective but remains controversial in these often-young patients.
