Endovascular Repair of Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Guest: Bernardo C. Mendes, M.D.
Hosts: Malcolm R. Bell, M.D.
Endovascular treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA) with fenestrated-branched endovascular aneurysm repair (F/B-EVAR) has gained increasing acceptance in patients with suitable anatomy. These techniques have resulted in superior perioperative outcomes when compared to traditional open repair. Patient selection, meticulous preoperative planning, and proper device design are critical to ensure successful treatment. The field of TAAA repair is constantly evolving with ongoing research and the development of new techniques and devices to further improve patient outcomes. This podcast discusses a review of endovascular TAAA treatment, summarizing some general aspects of device design and clinical features relevant to technical success and excellent long-term outcomes.
Topics Discussed:
-
Endovascular vs Open Repair
- Fenestrated and Branched Stents
-
