Stent-graft implantation is a widely recognized method for endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms. In cases where the aneurysm involves the thoracic and abdominal aorta, repair including fenestrated and branched stent grafts provides a viable alternative. This approach, initially reserved for patients unsuitable for open surgery, has become preferred for anatomically appropriate thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.

Endovascular treatment of postoperative aortic coarctation aneurysms-a single center experience.

Background: Formation of local type aortic aneurysm years after surgical repair of coarctation (CoA) occurs in 10% of patients independent of the surgical technique and is a potentially life-threatening condition if left untreated with a high risk of aortic rupture. Redo open surgery is associated with 14% in-hospital mortality and a high risk of complications. Endovascular treatment appears to be a feasible alternative with a high success rate and low morbidity and mortality, but data concerning long-term results is still mandatory.

Background: Endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair (EVAR) offers a less invasive approach to treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) compared to open repair. However, EVAR is associated with higher rates of reintervention. This study investigates the early and mid-term outcomes of patients who underwent late open conversion including aneurysmorrhaphy after EVAR at our institution.

Introduction: Since the mid-1900s, techniques in the repair of aortic arch and thoracoabdominal aortic pathologies have drastically evolved. Open aortic surgical repair was once the sole option for both simple and complex aneurysmal degeneration. Today, a number of minimally invasive and hybrid approaches are now available to assist both the surgeon and patient in tackling this challenging problem.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith Dissection Endovascular System (ZDES) against traditional stent grafts for repairing acute complicated Type B Aortic Dissection (AcTBAD).
  • A retrospective analysis of 32 patients revealed that the ZDES group experienced fewer postoperative adverse events (12 vs. 37), demonstrating better outcomes in false lumen thrombosis at 6 months and lower 3-year mortality rates.
  • Despite some patients needing secondary interventions in the ZDES cohort due to aortic growth, overall results suggest the ZDES may offer improved safety and efficacy compared to traditional methods.
