Why the study?
Endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms is continuously evolving, requiring review of anatomical and clinical features relevant to technical performance and indications.
This review summarizes the current state, anatomical and clinical features, and treatment indications for endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.
Summarizes endovascular options for thoracoabdominal aneurysms; leaves open optimal indications pending prospective validation.
Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) is a severe and complex condition with multifactorial etiology that can lead to life-threatening complications. Its treatment is genuinely complex irrespective of the chosen technique, open or endovascular repair. Fenestrated-branched endovascular aneurysm repair (F/B-EVAR) has been increasingly accepted in patients with suitable anatomy, resulting in outcomes compared to or superior to open repair. The selection of patients, judicious surgical planning, and device selection are paramount to achieving successful treatment. The field of TAAA repair is continuously evolving with ongoing research and the development of new techniques and devices to further improve patient outcomes. This paper aims to present a review of endovascular TAAA treatment, summarizing anatomical and clinical features relevant to technical performance and treatment indications.
