Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The presence of a tortuous, elongated thoracic aorta and an angulated arch poses a technical challenge for the delivery of an endoluminal graft to the target site to exclude management of a thoracic aortic aneurysm. Despite the availability of a flexible delivery sheath system, adjunct techniques are necessary to deal with extremely tortuous thoracic aortas. The use of a brachio-femoral wire with tension applied at both ends is a useful technique to deliver an endoluminal graft in an angulated thoracic arch. We describe the use of a right brachio-femoral wire approach to treat a thoracic aortic aneurysm in a 75-year-old man with an elongated, tortuous and angulated arch aorta. |
