Complications after endovascular stent-grafting of thoracic aortic diseases
BACKGROUND To update our experience with thoracic aortic stent-graft treatment over a 5-year period, with special consideration for the occurrence and management of complications. METHODS From December 2000 to June 2006, 52 patients with thoracic aortic pathologies underwent endovascular repair; there were 43 males (83%) and 9 females, mean age 63 +/- 19 years (range 17-87). Fourteen patients...
متن کاملOpen surgery for thoracic aortic disease.
Many recent technical advances have enhanced the safety of open surgery of the descending thoracic aorta. Previous to the refinement of these adjuncts and techniques, surgeons such as Stanley Crawford showed that simple aortic cross-clamping with expeditious surgery produced the best results. In Crawford’s era of “clamp and go”, time limitations pressured surgeons to perform anastomoses rapidly...
متن کاملConservative treatment of an aortoesophagial fistula after endovascular stent grafting for a thoracic aortic aneurysm
BACKGROUND Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is an uncommon condition that presents a problem in therapy because of the high rate of morbidity and mortality associated with its surgical management and the uniformly fatal outcome of medical treatment. In this article we describe a case of secondary AEF after endoluminal stent grafting of the thoracic aorta, which was observed by only conservative ma...
متن کاملThoracic endovascular stent grafting inhibits aortic growth: an experimental study.
OBJECTIVE Dilatation of the aorta at the landing zone site may be exaggerated by the radial force of stent grafts potentially limiting long-term results of endovascular therapy. We evaluated growth patterns and morphology of the thoracic aorta in young piglets after thoracic stent-graft placement. METHODS Eight domestic piglets (37+/-2 kg) had an endovascular stent graft placed in the proxima...
متن کاملEndovascular stent grafting of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms.
The treatment of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms using endovascular stents is one of the more recent advances in treatment and is receiving increasing attention as it is a less invasive alternative to open surgical repair. Although the technology is still primitive, significant improvements have lately been made in the design and deployment of the endovascular stent-grafts. Aortic stent-gr...
