Key result
Percutaneous transapical access through the left ventricle is a feasible option to facilitate externalized wire support for complex thoracic endovascular aortic repair.
Why the study?
Complex anatomy and previous operations may preclude traditional approaches to thoracic endovascular aortic repair.
Population

Case Report (n=1)
Percutaneous transapical access provides a feasible alternative to facilitate complex TEVAR when traditional approaches are precluded by complex anatomy or previous operations.
Venturini et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Residual type B aortic dissection (n=1). Percutaneous transapical access to facilitate complex TEVAR was evaluated on Feasibility of percutaneous transapical access. Percutaneous transapical access through the left ventricle is a feasible option to facilitate externalized wire support for complex thoracic endovascular aortic repair.
