Abstract:
We report the case of a 67-year-old patient with an anatomically complex aneurysm of the aortic arch treated by fenestrated thoracic endovascular aortic repair with subclavian-carotid extrathoracic bypass. We used the Najuta thoracic stent graft, which was approved for use in January 2013 in Japan and successfully excluded the aneurysm. Our case shows that the Najuta stent graft procedure is a feasible treatment if open repair is unsuitable for cases of aortic arch aneurysm with a challenging compromised seal zone.
