  • Title: Endovascular Repair of the Ascending Aorta for an Anastomotic Saphenous Vein Graft Aneurysm.
    Author: Skripochnik E, Ford B, Bilfinger TV, Weinstein JB, Tassiopoulos AK, Loh SA.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2020 Apr; 64():412.e1-412.e5. PubMed ID: 31669481.
    Abstract:
    The ascending aorta is the final segment of the aorta to be explored with endovascular stent grafts. With a patient population of increasingly advanced age and disease, there are situations where traditional open repair for ascending aneurysms or dissections may be prohibitive. However, the ascending aorta has multiple hostile characteristics that make endovascular treatment challenging. There is also a lack of approved specialized devices in the United States for this aortic territory. We demonstrate the feasibility of adapting an abdominal aortic graft to the ascending aorta for the treatment of a saphenous vein graft aneurysm with a discussion of the technical considerations for the operation.
