Hybrid thoracic endovascular aortic repair of ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm.
We report the successful thoracic endovascular aortic repair of an ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm. Because the risk of resternotomy after conventional surgery was very high, endovascular repair with extra-anatomic reconstruction of the supra-aortic vessels was performed using the femoral artery as the donor artery. Complete exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm was achieved, with no postoperative complications or neurologic sequelae.
