Stent-grafting of a dissected aortic arch and descending aorta after debranching of the supra-aortic vessels: case-presentation, indications, technique.
Endovascular repair of thoracic aorta pathology is emerging as the preferred treatment strategy in high risk patients. Hybrid techniques with debranching of the supra-aortic vessels extend indications for endovascular repair of the aortic arch and descending aorta. After a brief case-presentation, we describe these procedures, outline the indications and discuss the outcomes and results available in present literature.
