Endovascular Repair of Abdominal and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms
نویسنده
چکیده
Aortic aneurysms remain a challenging problem for patients and physicians. There have been major advances in the treatment of large-vessel aneurysms during the past 10 years. The surgical armamentarium used to treat these aneurysms now includes an endovascular approach that allows the insertion of a graft to exclude the aneurysm sac from blood flow. The endovascular repair of abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms has become a viable alternative to open repair and is often the approach of choice for high-risk patients. In this review, we examine the endovascular treatment of abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms.

Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...

Abstract Traumatic descending thoracic aorta pseudo aneurysms have been treated traditionally with open surgery in the past, which have had noticeable rates of mortality and morbidity. A safer method of treatment for this disease is made possible with recent progress in endovascular treatment techniques. In this article, we present three cases of Traumatic descending thoracic aorta pseudo aneu...

Infrarenal abdominal aortic and descending thoracic aneurysms are the most frequently coexisting aortic aneurysms and pose problems deciding priority of treatment, timing of interventions, and minimizing the risk of paraplegia. An 81-year-old man presented with a 5.8-cm descending thoracic and a 5.0-mm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (A, note two renal arteries on the right). The thoracic ...
متن کاملTreatment of co-existing thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms using combined endoluminal stent grafts and conventional surgery.
We report three patients with a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm (DTAA) and a separate infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who had initial endovascular repair of the DTAA followed by repair of AAA. Endovascular stent repair of DTAA avoids the significant morbidity associated with thoracotomy and open repair. Hence more patients with multilevel aortic aneurysm may be eligible for surg...
