  • Title: Transesophageal echocardiography guidance for stent-graft repair of a thoracic aneurysm is facilitated by the ability of partial stent deployment.
    Author: Crimi E, Lee JT, Dake MD, van der Starre PJ.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2012 Aug; 26(6):861.e7-9. PubMed ID: 22794345.
    Abstract:
    Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is routinely used in our Institution for monitoring correct positioning of thoracic aortic stent grafts. We present a case of successful endovascular repair of three discrete thoracic aortic aneurysms with Zenith TX2 endovascular stent grafts in an 82-year-old female patient. Our focus is on the increased value of TEE guidance because of the ability of partial stent deployment and manipulation during insertion.
