ABSTRACT
Management of recurrent thoracoabdominal aneurysmal disease of the aorta is challenging. We report three patients with previous endovascular or open aortic repair requiring redo repair by treatment by stent-graft implantation of the thoracoabdominal aorta and visceral debranching using an antegrade inflow from the ascending aorta. All three interventions were successful, with two patients alive 5 and 2 years, respectively, after this operation, while the third patient died 2 days after the procedure due to cardiac failure. No paraplegia was observed. As complications from complex open and endovascular procedures are increasing, vascular surgeons should get familiar with alternative management options.
