RESUMO
Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of different treatment methods for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm(TAAA).Methods:The clinical data of 39 TAAA patients admitted to our department from Jan 2010 to Feb 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There were 25 patients in endovascular group, 11 in open group and 3 in hybrid group. The mean age in the endovascular group was significantly higher than that in the open group ( P<0.05). The blood loss and operation time in the endovascular group were significantly lower than those in the open group and the hybrid group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the operation success rate, the complication rate in post-operative 30 days and the rate of re-intervention ( P>0.05) among the three groups. The post-operative 30 days mortality was significantly higher in the hybrid group than that in the endovascular group and open group ( P<0.05). During the follow-up period, the complication rate in the endovascular group was significantly higher than that in the open group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Endovascular surgery is more suitable for elderly patients because of shorter operation time, less trauma and bleeding.
RESUMO
Fenestrated thoracic aortic endovascular repair (TEVAR), as the most advantageous technique for total endovascular repair of aortic arch lesions, has been widely carried out in China, but the technical level is different, the operation process lacks standardization, and the quality control is insufficient. This article discusses the technical details include how to ensure the controllability of TEVAR in physician-modified fenestration, how to choose indications, select fenestration positions, make fenestration, install preset guide wires, unwind guide wires, accurately position fenestration of the hole, delivery and release of the bridging stent combined with author′s experience.
