Branched Endovascular Aortic Repair for Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms Treated by Single Step or Staged Procedures With Aneurysm Sack Perfusion - A 10 Years Single Center Experience

Abstract

Introduction - Branched endovascular aortic repair (BEVAR) has become an accepted option for treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA). Staged procedures with a non-completed open branch for temporary aneurysm sac perfusion (TASP) was shown to reduce the risk of spinal cord ischemia (SCI) in patients with extended aortic aneurysmal disease. However, further results on a larger patient cohort with analysis of perioperative results, neurologic complications and follow-up data are required.
