Introduction/aim: The partial deployment technique (PDT) is an unconventional option of T-branch deployment to allow target arteries (TAs) cannulation/stenting from the upper arm access, in case of narrow (NPA: <25mm) or severely angulated (APA: >60°) aorta. Aim of this study was to report outcomes of the endovascular repair of complex aortic (c-AAAs) and thoracoabdominal (TAAAs) aneurysms by T-branch and PDT.
Methods: All consecutive patients underwent urgent endovascular repair of c-AAAs and TAAAs by T-branch (Cook-Medical, Bloomington, IN, US) and PDT from 2021 to 2023 were analyzed.

Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) are rare but serious conditions characterized by dilation of the aorta characterized by remodeling of the vessel wall, with changes in the elastin and collagen content. Individuals with Marfan syndrome have a genetic predisposition for elastic fiber fragmentation and elastin degradation and are prone to early aneurysm formation and progression. Our objective was to analyze the medial collagen characteristics through histological, polarized light microscopy, and electron microscopy methods across the thoracic and abdominal aorta in twenty-five patients undergoing open surgical repair, including nine with Marfan syndrome.

Objective: Comprehensive endovascular aortic programmes need optimal infrastructure and multidisciplinary teams to manage complex aortic aneurysms. This study assessed the implementation of such a programme in two centres and its impact on fenestrated or branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR) outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients treated for complex abdominal and thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) by FB-EVAR between 2013 and 2023 was undertaken.

Acute type A aortic dissection remains a deadly and elusive condition, with risk factors such as hypertension, bicuspid aortic valves, and genetic predispositions. As existing guidelines for surgical intervention based solely on aneurysm diameter face scrutiny, there is a growing need to consider other predictors and parameters, including wall stress, in assessing dissection risk. Through our research, we aim to elucidate the biomechanical underpinnings of aortic dissection and provide valuable insights into its prediction and prevention.

The Thoracoabdominal Multibranch Endoprosthesis (TAMBE) is a commercially available off-the-shelf four-vessel inner branched endograft for complex abdominal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. As post-dissection thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (PD-TAAAs) were excluded from the pivotal trials, there is paucity of data on the use of TAMBE in PD-TAAAs. Here, we present a case demonstrating the feasibility of TAMBE in conjunction with iliac branch endoprosthesis to repair PD-TAAAs, with focus on the deployment technique specific to PD-TAAAs.
