title: [Thoracic aortic interventions].
abstract: The treatment of thoracic aortic diseases has undergone a paradigm shift due to the introduction and further development of interventional techniques in recent years. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) of the descending aorta has significantly lower mortality and complication rates compared to open repair. Meanwhile this endovascular approach is the first option for the treatment of the majority of thoracic aortic diseases.
