title: Retrograde visceral vessel revascularization followed by endovascular aneurysm exclusion as an alternative to open surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm.
abstract: Staged visceral artery revascularization with occlusion of the proximal lumen enables endovascular exclusion of the entire thoracoabdominal aneurysm from a femoral approach. This technique has been successfully used in three patients at high risk for conventional repair.
