Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Thoracic aortic aneurysms are extremely burdensome to treat owing to their surgical complexity. In particular, major postoperative complications lower significantly patients' quality of life. Surgical treatment has recently shifted to thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) to respect the patients' needs and improve postoperative quality of life. This procedure is radical and innovated for thoracic aortic pathology, but the devices and the delivery systems are immature because only a little over a decade and a half has passed since starting to use them. Ready-made stent-grafts were originally indicated only for degenerated aortic aneurysms, but aortic dissection and traumatic aortic transection will become the next targets for TEVAR. This review addresses the history and changes in TEVAR as well as the current TEVAR strategy. Finally, we describe a new trial of TEVAR for aortic dissections, traumatic aortic transections, and aortic arch aneurysms. |
