Collection Overview
Endovascular treatment of aortic disease offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional sternotomy or laparotomy, avoiding the need for hypothermic circulatory arrest or cardiopulmonary bypass. Despite its advantages, challenges remain, particularly with managing aortic pathologies involving major branches such as the aortic arch and visceral arteries. Technical success rates for fenestrated, branched, and parallel-graft devices in aortic arch repair are promising. New devices designed for total endovascular arch repair are emerging to ensure an adequate proximal landing zone.
Nevertheless, neurological complications, including stroke and spinal cord ischemia, are significant concerns. For thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms involving visceral arteries, physician-modified and off-the-shelf devices are gaining traction. However, the higher reintervention rates associated with these endovascular approaches compared to open surgery present a notable challenge.
This Methods Collection aims to showcase the most advanced and up-to-date techniques for endovascular branch reconstruction, focusing on two key areas: endovascular aortic arch repair and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. It will cover novel devices for endovascular aortic arch repair and techniques for visceral artery reconstruction using physician-modified and newly designed devices, providing insights into their advantages and applications in clinical practice.
