Stent - Graft Placement for Mycotic Aneurysm of the Thoracic Aorta-Report of a Case-

Endovascular treatment of an aortobronchial fistula caused by a distal aortic arch mycotic aneurysm: Report of a case

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Several reports describe successful stent grafting for ruptured aortic aneurysm, 4 including mycotic aortic aneurysm. [6][7][8][9][10][11] We decided not to perform conventional graft replacement of the aortic arch using CPB in our patient because of the massive hemoptysis, as intractable bleeding into the airway during surgery would have proven fatal. Although stent grafting was planned as a temporary evasive measure to control the bleeding, it was successful beyond our expectation.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Stent grafting for mycotic aortic aneurysm has been reported in several articles. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] We report a case of stent grafting as bridge treatment before a radical operation. Although the infection recurred 7 months after stent grafting, we performed graft replacement successfully using rifampicin-soaked gelatin sealed polyester graft and omentopexy, as in situ treatment.…”

Endovascular Repair of Ascending Aortic Pseudoaneurysm:Technical Considerations of a Common Carotid Artery Approach Using the Zenith Aortic Cuff Endograft

“…Previous reports have documented the feasibility of creating an iliac conduit through which an aortic cuff endograft is deployed to repair aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta. [3][4][5][6] However, such an approach may not be applicable for ascending aortic endograft placement. All commercially available aortic cuff devices (Excluder, AneuRx, and Zenith) have varying shaft lengths ranging from 55 to 65 cm, which are insufficient for standard femoral delivery to the ascending aorta even if an iliac conduit were created.…”

Initial and Midterm Results for Repair of Aortic Diseases With Handmade Stent Grafts

“…It is necessary to devise handmade SGs that can be used in emergency cases because then EVR could be used at least as a temporary treatment prior to surgical repair or as a therapeutic alternative in critically ill patients, such as those with ruptured, traumatic, or mycotic aneurysms. 49 Third, it is difficult to produce a bifurcated SG for the treatment of abdominal aneurysms, and hence an aortouniiliac SG placement with femorofemoral bypass has to be performed. In the present study, femorofemoral bypass graft occlusion did not occur; however, it should be noted that this procedure is an anti-anatomical bypass if it offers an encouraging median and long-term patency.…”
