Multicenter Study
Results From a Nationwide Registry on Scalloped Thoracic Stent-Grafts for Short Landing Zones.
To report the perioperative results and short-term follow-up of patients treated with scalloped thoracic stent-grafts. ⋯ The scalloped stent-graft appears to be a safe and relatively simple alternative for the treatment of thoracic aortic lesions with short landing zones. Larger patient series and long-term follow-up are required to confirm these early results.
-
To describe the combined use of a tubular stent-graft for the ascending aorta and an inner-branched arch stent-graft for patients with acute type A aortic dissection. ⋯ Endovascular treatment of patients with acute type A aortic dissection using a combination of tubular and branched stent-grafts in the ascending aorta is feasible and offers an alternative strategy to open surgery.
-
To evaluate risk factors for early (<30 days) type I endoleak following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). ⋯ Risks for early type I endoleaks after TEVAR for aneurysm were landing zone 0-2, LSA coverage, large proximal neck and stent-graft diameters, excessive oversizing, and the use of the chimney technique.
