  • Title: Endovascular repair of descending thoracic aortic aneurysm via midsternotomy and without extracorporeal circulation.
    Author: Abad C, Garzon G, Ponce G, Reyes R, Rodriguez D.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino); 2003 Dec; 44(6):763-6. PubMed ID: 14735042.
    Abstract:
    A 68-year-old man with peripheral vascular disease and associated risk factors, was diagnosed by CT-scan and aortography with an atherosclerotic descending thoracic aortic aneurysm. The patient was treated by successful endovascular grafting of the aneurysm using a midsternotomy incision and the insertion of a thoracic stent-graft through a T-Dacron tube sutured in the ascending aorta, without the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass.
