ABSTRACT
Objective@#To evaluate endovascular repair combined with fenestrated stent grafts for the treatment of aortic dissection or aneurysm involving aortic arch.@*Methods@#From Jun 2017 to Dec 2018, 30 patients of complicated aortic arch lesions were treated with endovascular repair combined with fenestrated endografts. 26 male and 4 female, aged(53±16) years. All patients had hypertension. 12 cases were treated via needle based in situ fenestration, another 16 cases using physician modified stent grafts, while 2 cases combining these two methods to achieve optimal fenestration. Patients were followed by receiving CTA for mortality, patency of bridging stents, endoleaks and complications.@*Results@#Operations were performed successfully in all cases. The median follow-up is 8.5 months. There was no aorta-related mortality. 1 patient developed cerebral infarction and 1 had hydropericardium. Type Ⅲ endoleaks were observed in 5 patients, no reintervention. All target vessels were patent during the follow up.@*Conclusion@#Fenestrated stent grafts shows satisfactory short-term outcomes in treating aortic arch lesions.
