  • Title: Hybrid debranching-endovascular repair of visceral patch aneurysm after thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair.
    Author: Bakken AM, Protack CD, Waldman DL, Davies MG.
    Journal: Vasc Endovascular Surg; 2007; 41(3):249-53. PubMed ID: 17595393.
    Abstract:
    A visceral patch aneurysm is a significant complication after extensive thoracoabdominal aneurysm repair, and open procedures to correct these lesions are associated with a high perioperative mortality. We report the case of a 6-cm visceral patch aneurysm occurring in a patient with a completely replaced descending and abdominal aorta that was successfully corrected by staged debranching and endovascular repair with a dedicated thoracic endograft. Hybrid procedures are a successful option to treat complex repairs in the reoperative setting. They have the potential to lower perioperative risk and enhance patient care.
