Endovascular treatment of complex aortic aneurysms REVIEW

چکیده
Endovascular aortic aneurysm repair has been established as an alternative to open surgical repair. One of the main limitations of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair is the need for a sufficient sealing zone below or above vital aortic branches. During the last 10 years, efforts have been made to overcome these limitations by incorporating fenestrations or branches into customized stent grafts. First, short-necked infrarenal aneurysms were addressed. Later, juxtarenal and suprarenal aneurysms were treated with the same technique. Last, it became possible to treat thoracoabdominal aneuryms by endovascular means. This article reviews the technical and clinical possibilities, as well as the published results of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair with fenestrated and branched stent grafts. The current status and future considerations are discussed.

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...

Mycotic aneurysms are localized and irreversible dilatations of the arteries caused by weakening and damaging the arterial wall by an invasive organism establishing infective arteritis. Mycotic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta is a rare event; however, it can be fatal if not diagnosed early or not treated appropriately. Clinical findings are usually nonspecific; however, c...
متن کاملEndovascular Repair of Abdominal and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms
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 thor...

Background and purpose: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is a localized enlargement of infrarenal abdominal aorta. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a surgical method introduced for AAA repair. This study, for the first time in Iran, investigated the complications and mortality rate associated with EVAR. Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, medical records were reviewed...

endovascular devices and techniques will evolve to expand applicability and provide therapy for most aortic diseases, including a growing number of diseases of the arch and the ascending aorta [4]. Complex aortic aneurysms that involve major aortic branch origins include those juxtaposed or involving the renal arteries (juxtarenal, perirenal), the visceral arteries (thoraco-abdominal) and the g...
