Hybrid Endovascular Repair of Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Using Visceral Debranching Technique: 2 case reports / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) remains a formidable challenge associated with significant rates of mortality and morbidity, especially in patients with high risk. Use of endovascular stent graft in aortic aneurysm disease is now accepted as an alternative treatment to surgery. But the saving of visceral arteries is the chief obstacle to endovascular repair of TAAA. We successfully treated two patients of TAAA with high risk by hybrid procedure including open visceral debranching and concomitant endovascular aneurysm exclusion.
