Abstract:
A recent systematic review and meta-analysis shows that synchronous and metachronous thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms are present in 19.2% of cases. The management remains controversial: elective simultaneous TEVAR and EVAR could increase morbidity due to increased aortic coverage during a single procedure, longer operative times, increased blood loss, and greater contrast exposure. Conversely, simultaneous thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and endovascular aneurysms repair (EVAR) prevent the need for two interventions, reduces future access site complications, and obviates interval aortic complications. We present a case of a multilevel aortic disease treated in three stages: EVAR, TEVAR, and exclusion of an increasing aortic visceral penetrating aortic ulcer through a multilayer flow modulator endograft with an optimal result.
