A Fenestrated Stent Graft for Endovascular Repair of an Ascending Aortic Pseudoaneurysm

抄録

Endovascular stent grafting is a novel therapeutic technique for repairing aortic aneurysms, and is especially useful for descending aortic aneurysm and aneurysm at the distal arch. However, no effective endovascular approach for the ascending aorta has been reported a remaining site for endovascular repair because of the anatomical restrictions and the presence of vital branches to the head and arms that are present in this region. This report describes an endovascular stent graft repair of a pseudoaneurysm at the ascending aorta using a fenestrated stent graft. The fenestrated stent graft is easy to use and less invasive for the endovascular repair of the ascending aorta.
