Key result
Endovascular branched devices in the ascending aorta offer excellent technical success with variable morbidity.
Why the study?
Endovascular techniques sealing within the ascending aorta offer options for patients turned down for open surgery, but contemporary evidence on these devices and techniques required evaluation.
Endovascular techniques using branched devices offer a realistic treatment option with excellent technical success for patients with aortic arch pathologies who are ineligible for open surgery.
Endovascular branched devices expand options for high-risk aortic arch patients declined for open repair; leaves open durability and comparative outcomes.
(unstructured) Open surgery has represented the gold-standard of care for many acute and chronic pathologies of the aortic arch. Endovascular techniques, sealing within the ascending aorta, have broadened the scope of aortic practice and have to come to offer a realistic treatment option for many turned down for open intervention. The use of both multi and single-branched devices has been described with excellent rates of technical success and variable morbidity. The aim of this review is to examine the contemporary literature evaluating current endovascular devices and techniques sealing within the ascending aorta.

Aherne et al. (2024) conducted a review in Acute and chronic pathologies of the aortic arch. Endovascular devices and techniques sealing within the ascending aorta was evaluated. Endovascular techniques using multi- and single-branched devices sealing within the ascending aorta offer a realistic treatment option with excellent rates of technical success and variable morbidity.
