Article Synopsis
- Postdissection thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is common after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for type B aortic dissection, mainly due to residual tears causing ongoing blood flow in the false lumen.
- The EndoPatch is a small endovascular device designed to seal these re-entry tears, helping to stop blood flow in the false lumen and encourage clot formation.
- Despite some challenges in widespread use, the EndoPatch's unique design and flexibility may reduce risks during procedures and serve as a valuable option for treating aortic dissection either alone or alongside traditional methods.
Objective: To investigate outcomes of a novel, off the shelf multibranched endovascular stent graft for the treatment of thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) and pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (PAAA).
Methods: A prospective, single centre study including 15 patients (mean age, 63.4 ± 10.
Objective: To assess the usefulness of a modified Stanford classification for risk stratification of complications after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for type B aortic dissection (TBAD).
Patients And Methods: This retrospective analysis included 201 patients from an observational multicenter cohort study who underwent TEVAR for TBAD from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2016. The patients were divided by using a modified Stanford classification, termed 301, into 3 groups: types B1 (n=62) and B3 (n=24), with a true and false lumen, respectively, descending closely along the thoracic vertebral bodies, and type B2 (n=115), a semi-spiral or spiral configuration.
Background: The natural history of the thoracic false lumen after coil embolization for type B aortic dissection (TBAD) treated by previous thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) remains a matter of debate. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of coil embolization in promoting thoracic aortic remodeling of TBAD with persistent thoracic false lumen after TEVAR.
Methods: Between January 2015 and December 2016, 7 consecutive TBAD patients with persistent thoracic false lumen post-TEVAR underwent coil embolization, either isolated (3 with maximum thoracic aortic diameter <55 mm) or combined with adjunctive procedure(s) specifically for distal re-entry tears (4 with thoracic aneurysmal aortic dissection ≥55 mm in diameter).
Objective: The study objective was to assess the effect of preoperative thoracic false lumen branches on thoracic aortic enlargement along the stent graft after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for DeBakey IIIb aortic dissection.
Methods: From January 2011 to December 2013, 67 patients who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair for DeBakey IIIb aortic dissection were retrospectively investigated. We assessed preoperative thoracic false lumen branches and diameter measurements at the level of the tracheal carina.
Background: Identifying the risk factors predisposing to aortic enlargement after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is needed for DeBakey IIIb aortic dissection. The aim of the study is to assess the novel morphological features for DeBakey IIIb aortic dissection in predicting distal thoracic aortic enlargement after TEVAR.
Methods: Sixty-seven patients who underwent TEVAR for DeBakey IIIb aortic dissection between January 2011 and December 2013 at our center were divided based on preoperative computer tomography angiography (CTA) features into 3 groups: I (n = 27) and III (n = 9), with true and false lumen, respectively, coursing closely along thoracic vertebral bodies and II, spiral configuration (n = 31).
Objective: This study evaluated the association between thoracic false lumen branches (TFLBs; dissected thoracic branches fed by a false lumen) and distal thoracic aortic enlargement (DTAE) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for DeBakey IIIb aortic dissection.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of 67 patients with DeBakey IIIb dissection initially treated with TEVAR between January 2011 and December 2013. Preoperative and postoperative computed tomography angiography images were reviewed to evaluate the number of preoperative TFLBs and aortic diameter change after TEVAR.
