  • Title: Hybrid treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms with the use of a new prosthesis.
    Author: Esposito G, Marullo AG, Pennetta AR, Bichi S, Conte M, Cricco AM, Salcuni M.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2008 Apr; 85(4):1443-5. PubMed ID: 18355551.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 72-year-old woman with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm who underwent hybrid surgical and endovascular procedure. First, debranching of the aortic arch and implantation of a new multi-branched prosthesis with transdiaphragmatic celiac artery and superior mesenteric artery revascularization was performed. Two weeks later the procedure was successfully completed with aneurysmal exclusion by deployment of multiple stent grafts. The postoperative course was uneventful. A two-staged surgical and endovascular approach with the use of a new prosthesis reduces the risk of endoluminal graft endoleak and may constitute an attractive alternative to conventional surgery in management of high-risk thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.
