Covered endovascular repair of the paravisceral aorta
نویسندگان
چکیده
Open aortic repair is considered the "gold standard" treatment for aortic occlusive disease. We present the case of an 83-year-old patient with refractory hypertension caused by paravisceral aortic stenosis including both renal arteries and the superior mesenteric artery. We planned an endovascular approach and treated the patient with parallel stent grafts in the paravisceral aorta. At 1.5 years after the operation, the patient was free of hypertensive episodes. Covered endovascular repair of the paravisceral aorta may be a valuable alternative to open aortic repair in patients unfit for open surgery. More research is needed to evaluate the long-term effects of this technique.

Open surgery is the elective treatment for mycotic aneurysms of the aorta. This surgery consists of resection of the aneurysm, debridement and revascularization with an in situ or extra-anatomic bypass. Even when surgery has been successful, the morbi-mortality is raised and the endovascular treatment has become an alternative for specific patients. When mycotic aneurysms involved the visceral ...

Aortic transection is a rare but life-threatening complication of blunt chest trauma. Treatment options include open repair, medical management and most recently, endovascular repair. We report a 33 years old male with a traumatic aortic transection following a car accident. Aortic injury and its pseudo-aneurysm were confirmed by Chest CT scan and TEE in the descending thoracic aorta just belo...
متن کاملEndovascular covered stent treatment for descending aorta pseudoaneurysm following coarctation of the aorta repair in an infant.
The development of a pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication following repair of a coarctation of the aorta. Surgical management of pseudoaneurysms is associated with high morbidity and mortality. We describe the successful endovascular deployment of a covered stent in a sick infant with a descending aorta pseudoaneurysm, following the repair of an aortic coarctation. We highlight the challenges ...
