Aortic arch banding procedure for proximal type I endoleak after thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair with the chimney technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
An aortic arch banding procedure was performed on an 82-year-old man for treatment of proximal type I endoleaks 2 days after he had undergone emergency thoracic endovascular aortic repair with the chimney technique for a ruptured aortic arch aneurysm. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography after the second procedure demonstrated significant shrinkage of the aneurysmal sac as well as a complete disappearance of the endoleaks. The basic concept of this technique is to treat the type IA endoleak, including possible gutter endoleaks, by creating a new proximal seal zone distal to the chimney graft using a banding technique.

Repair of type I endoleak by chimney technique after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair
Endovascular aneurysm repair is a minimally invasive, durable and effective alternative to open surgery for treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). However, in patients who do not have an adequate sealing zone, open surgical repair is required, which may increase mortality and morbidity. An alternative treatment in patients with challenging anatomy is the so-called "chimney graft" techni...

BACKGROUND The chimney graft (CG) technique was introduced to rescue accidentally covered aortic branches during aortic endovascular repair. It extends the sealing zone. There is concern about "gutter" type I endoleak (EL-I) and about the durability of CGs. The aim of the present report was to analyze the rapidly increasing existing data. METHODS A search was performed (PRISMA criteria) for a...

OBJECTIVES The objective of the present study was to evaluate short- and mid-term outcomes of the left subclavian artery (LSA) chimney stent implantation (LSACSI) during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR), and to summarize our experience with this technique. METHODS From June 2010 to September 2012, 59 patients (49 men; mean age of 57.4 ± 13.3 years, range from 26 to 83 years) who un...
متن کاملThe efficacy and short-term results of hybrid thoracic endovascular repair into the ascending aorta for aortic arch pathologies.
OBJECTIVES Conventional total aortic arch repair is a high-risk procedure, particularly for high-risk patients. Although endovascular treatment of aortic arch aneurysm is a recently induced procedure, only a few cases are indicated and outcomes are questionable. Here, we report on the early and short-term results of our surgical procedure, i.e. hybrid arch repair with supra-aortic debranching a...
متن کاملA Case of Successful Coil Embolization for a Late-Onset Type Ia Endoleak after Endovascular Aneurysm Repair with the Chimney Technique
Juxtarenal aortic aneurysms (JRAAs) are challenging to treat by endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) procedures. The chimney technique with EVAR (Ch-EVAR) is one of the feasible and less invasive treatments for JRAAs. However, the main concern of Ch-EVAR is the potential risk of "gutters," which can lead to type Ia endoleak (EL). Most type Ia ELs after Ch-EVAR procedures occurred intraoperativel...
