Key result
Endovascular stent-grafting via surgical innominate access successfully treats zone 0 aortic pseudoaneurysm after valve-in-valve TAVI.
Why the study?
An ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm is a potentially lethal complication following aortic procedures.
A hybrid approach using an abdominal stent-graft extension via surgical innominate artery access can successfully treat ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms post-TAVI.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change practice for zone 0 pseudoaneurysms; extends technical options but remains hypothesis-generating from one case.
Kuhelj et al. (2022) studied this question. Endovascular insertion of an abdominal stent-graft extension via surgical innominate artery access successfully treated a zone 0 ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm after valve-in-valve TAVI.
