Endoluminal Stent

The purpose of the study was to describe the clinical experience in using endoluminal stent-grafts for the treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms in high-risk patients. Patients with aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta who were considered high surgical risks underwent evaluation for endoluminal repair. The prosthesis was constructed from Z stents covered with polyester fabric using dimensions based upon preprocedural computed tomography scans and angiography. Through a femoral arteriotomy or left retroperitoneal flank incision, a 22–24 Fr delivery catheter was inserted and advanced through the aorta to the target site under fluoroscopic guidance in the operating suite. The stent-graft prosthesis was deployed at the site of the aneurysm. 44 patients (36 male, 8 female; mean age 36 years) underwent stent-graft repair for thoracic aneurysms (mean diameter 6.3 cm). The deployment was technically successful in all cases, with complete aneurysm thrombosis in 88%. The 30-day perioperative mortality rate was 6.8% and 35-month actuarial survival was 82%. There were no cases of stent migration, surgical conversion or intraprocedural death. Paraplegia occurred in two patients who underwent simultaneous surgical infrarenal aortic aneurysm repair immediately followed by stent-graft placement for a coexisting thoracic aneurysm. The conclusion was that placement of endoluminal stent-grafts for repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms is technically feasible in high-risk patients in whom conventional surgery is contraindicated. Long-term studies are needed to determine protection against aneurysm rupture and patient survival.

Abstract Background An endovascular approach to the management of a ruptured plaque in the ascending aorta may be an alternative to open surgery in high-risk patients. This option may become inevitable due to the number of elderly patients unfit for open cardiac surgery. There are very few stent grafts able to fit the ascending aorta and in emergency cases, most medical teams have been limited to current thoracic aortic endografts, the shortest of which measure 10 cm. Case summary We report a case of an endovascular repair of a ruptured penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer of the ascending aorta. The patient was considered for open cardiac surgery but was evaluated at a high mortality risk based on his age, his medical history, and significant calcifications on his aorta. Our vascular surgical team decided then to perform an endovascular repair with extending the length of the aortic coverage by debranching the innominate artery. Discussion Endovascular treatment of an acute ruptured aorta is feasible in high-risk patients with thoracic endovascular stent grafts and coverage of the innominate artery. Endovascular treatment of the ascending aorta is at its infancy and in need of further research. New stent grafts designed for the ascending aorta are in progress and should increase the numbers of interventions in the years to come.
