Abstract:
Challenging access situations continue to arise in endovascular aneurysm repair, despite evolving arterial access techniques. We report a modified access approach, where an ascending aortic conduit was successfully used for antegrade delivery of a thoracic endograft to repair a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm, in a patient with previous surgical ligation of the infra-renal aorta.
