  • Title: Hybrid one-stage approach to extensive atherosclerotic aneurysm of thoracoabdominal aorta.
    Author: Bichi S, Cricco AM, Marullo AG, Gregorini R, Esposito G.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2011 May; 91(5):1599-601. PubMed ID: 21524471.
    Abstract:
    We report a 62-year-old man with an atherosclerotic Crawford type II aneurysm involving both common iliac arteries who underwent surgical revascularization of the visceral vessels and renal arteries from the ascending aorta and subsequent endovascular aneurysmal exclusion. Computed tomography imaging at 2 years showed complete exclusion of the aneurysm throughout the thoracoabdominal aorta, confirming the successful antegrade revascularization of visceral vessels and renal arteries. A hybrid approach to thoracoabdominal aneurysms using antegrade visceral and renal revascularization from the ascending aorta before endovascular repair is technically feasible and might constitute an attractive alternative to conventional surgical treatment.
