Key Points

  • To present a novel technique of laser fenestration to preserve subclavian arterial flow during aortic dissection repair.
  • Described the approach of in situ laser fenestration of the endograft during repair.
  • Reported a case involving a 40-year-old female with acute aortic dissection and aneurysmal degeneration.
  • Detailing the procedure of debranching followed by TEVAR.
  • Successfully maintained subclavian arterial flow during the endograft procedure.
  • Demonstrated that laser fenestration can be implemented in thoracic endovascular aortic repair for preservation of perfusion.

Abstract

Laser fenestration is a novel technique to create an opening in an endograft to maintain perfusion to the arch vessels during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). A 40‐year‐old female who had undergone an emergent ascending aortic repair for acute dissection presented with aneurysmal degeneration of the descending thoracic aorta. She then underwent debranching of the left carotid and innominate arteries, followed by TEVAR. Herein, we describe our approach during repair with in situ laser fenestration of the endograft to preserve subclavian arterial flow.
