Thoracic endovascular aortic repair of aortobronchial fistulas.
BACKGROUND Thoracic endovascular aortic repair of aortobronchial fistulas is an emerging treatment modality for this highly lethal condition. The feasibility and long-term durability of this form of intervention are largely unknown. METHODS The records of five patients who received endografts to treat aortobronchial fistulas at our institution were reviewed. A literature review was also condu...
متن کاملEndovascular repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms.
A thoracic aortic aneurysm is a potentially life-threatening condition that involves a structural weakness of the aortic wall, which can lead to aneurysm, rupture, or dissection. Optimal treatment strategies for lesions of the thoracic aorta are still controversial. Open surgery is complex and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Endovascular stenting has emerged as an altern...
متن کاملAn Aortoenteric Fistula Arising after Endovascular Management of a Mycotic Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Complicated with a Psoas Abscess
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...
متن کاملThoracic Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (TEVAR) for Ruptured Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms
Repair of Ruptured Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms (rDTAA) remains a challenging surgical undertaking. Although rupture is rare, when it occurs it is often a lethal event. Traditionally the standard of repair for rDTAA has been open surgical repair requiring thoracotomy, aortic cross-clamping, and cardiopulmonary bypass. However, while the standard, these open procedures are accompanied by...
متن کاملLong-term survival after open repair and thoracic endovascular aortic repair for descending thoracic aortic aneurysms.
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for descending thoracic aortic aneurysms (DTAs) was first reported by Dake et al1 in 1994. The advent of TEVAR was clinically relevant because open DTA repair had long been associated with operative mortality rates ranging from 5% to 7% at centers of excellence2,3 to as high as 20% to 22% in real-world practice.4,5 The favorable results6 of TEVAR with...
