Objectives: The thoracic branch endoprosthesis (TBE®, WL Gore, Flagstaff AZ) offers an off-the-shelf single option for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) of aortic arch pathology with sealing in zones 0-2. This study reports the early outcomes of TBE®-TEVAR for acute indications.
Methods: Clinical data, imaging, and outcomes of patients treated with TBE®-TEVAR at seven institutions were retrospectively reviewed (March 2017- March 2024).

Background: Transverse open aortic arch replacement remains a complex operation. A simplified arch replacement into zone 2, with debranching the head vessels proximally, creates a suitable landing zone for future endovascular repair and is increasing in popularity as of late. Still, limited data exist to assess contemporary rates of morbidity and mortality.

Ulcer-like projections (ULPs) with a tendency to enlarge are at risk of aortic events such as new dissection, aneurysmal formation, or rupture and require therapeutic intervention. However, what should be done after open chest surgery when standard thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) cannot be performed is debatable. Here, we present a case of coil embolization of a newly enlarged ULP that was not amenable to TEVAR following a hemiarch aortic arch repair.

Background: Stent graft-induced new entry (SINE) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a serious adverse event which leads to stent graft migration and rupture. SINE is known to be more frequent in cases of chronic dissection and oversizing. However, few studies have evaluated the influence of hemodynamic stress on SINE in patients with chronic dissection.
