Summary
The transapical approach for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is feasible for complex thoracic aorta aneurysm cases. Careful patient selection and planning are crucial for successful outcomes with this minimally invasive technique.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Interventional Cardiology
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is a minimally invasive treatment for thoracic aorta aneurysms.
- Access to the thoracic aorta can be challenging in certain patient populations.
- The transapical approach offers an alternative access route for TEVAR.
