Wholly endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aneurysm

Abstract

Wholly endovascular TAAA repair is relatively safe, but long-term follow-up is required to establish its durability.

Endovascular treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms

“…5,6,11,[14][15][16] We intensively monitor the MAP and intervene as necessary to maintain values Ͼ90 mm Hg. We also intervene to maintain a urine output of Ͼ60 mL/h and a central venous pressure of Ͻ15 mm Hg.…”

Variation in the shape and length of the branches of a thoracoabdominal aortic stent graft: Implications for the role of standard off-the-shelf components

“…Multi-branched endovascular TAAA repair has already been described in articles spanning almost a decade. 1,2,4,5 However, some aspects of stent graft design and implantation, relating to the causes and effects of branch misalignment, deserve emphasis here.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Until recently, all branched stent grafts were custom-made to reflect individual patient anatomy. However, customization, and the attendant delay in therapy, may not be necessary in every case.…”

Efficacy and durability of endovascular thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair using the caudally directed cuff technique

“…Many reports combine the results of patients treated with fenestrated devices and those treated with branched devices, 6-10 and many patients are treated with devices that combine fenestrations and branches. [8][9][10]17,20 In addition, the branch structure used in the treatment of TAAA (caudally directed vs cranially directed, radial vs spiral vs axial orientation) varies within and between reports. As a consequence, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of each technique and comparing a specific endovascular technique vs conventional open TAAA repair and hybrid TAAA repair remains difficult.…”
