The optimal management of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) remains a controversial subject. While some surgeons opt for a hemiarch approach to minimize bypass and cross-clamping time, others prefer partial or total arch replacement to prevent the need for additional operations. The advent of hybrid approaches offers a variety of options to the aortic surgeon in treating ATAAD.

Purpose: The use of surgeon-modified fenestrated endograft to treat a bleeding complication in the common iliac artery.

Technique: An Endurant limb graft was modified on back table in theater after planning the fenestration using a semi-automated centerline. The Endurant stent was planned to land flush at the aortic bifurcation.

We document a case of a 75-year-old patient with a history of hypercholesterolemia and hypertension, who underwent endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with common iliac artery ectasia. Despite an initially successful procedure, the patient experienced recurrent episodes of acute limb ischemia in his right leg. Subsequent imaging revealed thrombus formation distal to the stent graft, constituting a potential source of embolization, which warranted a reevaluation of the treatment strategy.

Intraoperative rescue of a dislodged renal stent during fenestrated endovascular aortic repair for treatment of type 1A endoleak.

In the past 15 years, fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (F-BEVAR) has progressively become the first-line option for management of most complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs); with increasing experience, as well as persistent technological refinements, F-BEVAR indications have been expanded to include rescue of failures after prior EVAR. Despite the feasibility and effectiveness, F-BEVAR procedures in the presence of prior infrarenal endografts may come with higher technical complexity that should be properly anticipated, and several anatomical challenges can be expected. Among these, presence of suprarenal bare stents from prior EVAR device are certainly a frequent scenario and may sometimes make target vessel cannulation more difficult because of encroachment on the target vessel origins.

Need for and update on clinical trials for uncomplicated type B aortic dissection.

The mainstay of management for uncomplicated type B aortic dissection is currently optimal medical therapy, targeting blood pressure and heart rate, along with serial imaging. There is a paucity of data that informs whether early intervention with thoracic endografting in this group of patients will promote aortic remodeling and better long-term outcomes. Investigations to date, including the Investigation of Stent Grafts in Aortic Dissection (INSTEAD), INSTEAD-XL, and Acute Dissection: Stent Graft or Best Medical Therapy (ADSORB) studies, have compared thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with optimal medical therapy in patients with uncomplicated type B aortic dissection but have not shown a benefit for TEVAR conclusively.
