Endovascular stent graft repair of aortic dissection type B extending to the aortic arch.
To analyse our experience with endovascular stent graft repair of descending aorta dissections that require supraaortic branch vessel revascularisation. ⋯ Endovascular stent graft methods show promise in endovascular stent graft repair of proximal descending aortic dissections involving the distal arch.

Local anaesthesia for endovascular repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms.
The study aimed to analyse and report the results of a 'local anaesthesia first' approach in elective endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) patients. ⋯ A 'local anaesthesia first' strategy can successfully be applied in 75% of patients undergoing EVAR. The use of LA can impact imaging quality and thus precise endograft placement, which should be considered in patients with challenging aneurysm morphologies.
