Objective:
To study the feasibility of treatment of aortic arch aneurysm with graftstent by intravascular surgery.
Methods:
Animal model of aortic arch aneurysm was established using 10 piglets. An aortic arch-shaped graftstent was transferred and implanted to the site of aortic arch aneurysm through femoral artery under angiography.
Results:
The aortic arch-shaped graftstent was successfully implanted in 8 piglets. Two piglets died from anaesthetic accident. Angiography showed disappearance of aneurysm, splendid development of the branches of aortic arch, and no blood leakage around the stent.
Conclusion:
Treatment of aortic arch aneurysm by implantation of graftstent by endovascular surgery is feasible.
