Preliminary retrograde visceral artery reconstruction for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.
The recent availability of thoracic endografts has expanded the options for treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic pathology. However, disease that involves the visceral aortic segment presents a special challenge due to the need to preserve mesenteric perfusion. We present three patients in whom preliminary retrograde visceral artery reconstruction was used as an adjunct prior to endovascular repair.
