Thoracic Stent Graft with Distal Fenestration for the Superior Mesenteric Artery for Treatment of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm

抄録

An 86-year-old man with a 75-mm TAA that terminated just above the celiac artery was treated with a customized Zenith stent graft that had a distal fenestration for the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Because angiography demonstrated a type IB endoleak, an additional extension stent graft was deployed, and coil embolization of the aneurysmal sac was performed. Three months later, there was no endoleak and good visceral blood flow. Placement of a fenestrated thoracic stent graft with a scallop-like fenestration for the SMA is a promising procedure for the treatment of TAAs with a short distal neck.
