Key result
Orthotopic branched endovascular aortic arch repair in patients ineligible for classical surgery resulted in a 6.7% in-hospital mortality rate and 100% aortic-related survival.
Why the study?
Is orthotopic branched endovascular aortic arch repair using a double-branch endoprosthesis safe and feasible in patients with thoracic aortic disease who cannot undergo classical surgery?
Observational (n=15)
Is orthotopic branched endovascular aortic arch repair using a double-branch endoprosthesis safe and feasible in patients with thoracic aortic disease who cannot undergo classical surgery?
Orthotopic branched endovascular aortic arch repair using a double-branch endoprosthesis is a feasible option with excellent aortic-related survival for high-risk patients ineligible for classical surgery.

Supports feasibility of double-branch TEVAR in high-risk arch patients; leaves open long-term durability and need for larger prospective studies.
Czerny et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Thoracic aortic disease affecting the aortic arch (n=15). Orthotopic branched endovascular aortic arch repair using the Bolton Relay plus double-branch endoprosthesis was evaluated on Clinical outcome, occurrence of endoleaks and the need for secondary interventions. Orthotopic branched endovascular aortic arch repair in patients ineligible for classical surgery resulted in a 6.7% in-hospital mortality rate and 100% aortic-related survival.
