Background: Operative mortality for type A aortic dissection is still 10–20% at centers of excellence. Additionally, are not considered as viable candidates open surgical repair and offered life-saving emergency surgery. ARISE a multicenter investigation evaluating the novel GORE® Ascending Stent Graft (ASG; Flagstaff, AZ). Objective: The purpose this study to assess early feasibility using these investigational devices treat ascending dissection. Methods: This prospective, multicenter,...
Introduction: Physician-modified fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair (PM-FBEVAR) for the arch provides a minimally invasive treatment option patients who are too high-risk open repair. Improvements in technique gained with ongoing experience these complex repairs. This study aims to describe outcomes of PM-FBEVAR and technical lessons. Materials Methods: A retrospective review consecutive underwent zone 0 proximal sealing at single institution between January 2019 July 2023 was...
The STABILISE (stent-assisted balloon-induced intimal disruption and relamination in aortic dissection repair) technique has shown promising results for treating type B dissections, but the potential exists fatal adverse effects. We present a case of infrarenal rupture while using compliant balloon to mold true lumen inside previously placed bare metal stents during technique. Caution is advised providers who wish perform technique, we recommend semi-compliant sized smallest total diameter...
Spinal cord ischemia (SCI) remains one of the most devastating complications in both open and endovascular stent graft repair thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. The aneurysm (EVAR) can be either thoracic (TEVAR) when it targets or fenestrated branched involves visceral and/or renal arteries. Even though EVAR interventions are less invasive than repair, they still associated with a significant risk SCI. current primary strategy to prevent SCI after TEVAR is increase maintain spinal perfusion...
Cardiovascular computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) provides an understanding of the three-dimensional (3D) coronary artery anatomy in relation to cardiovascular thoracic structures important surgical management anomalous arteries (ACAs). Although some ACA variants are not clinically significant, others can lead ischemia/infarction, related acute ventricular dysfunction, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. The CCTA is decision making, as it noninvasive visualization with (1) assessment...
The thoracic branch endoprosthesis (TBE®, WL Gore, Flagstaff AZ) offers an off-the-shelf single option for endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) of arch pathology with sealing in zones 0-2. This study reports the early outcomes TBE®-TEVAR acute indications.
