Clinical Impact:
The outcomes of local anesthesia and sedation (also referred to as monitored anesthesia care) in endovascular aortic arch repair are not well-studied or widely reported. This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of this approach using physician-modified endografts for total aortic arch repair and showing it is a promising alternative to general anesthesia. Only a few exclusion criteria necessitate performing the procedure under general anesthesia and no conversions to general anesthesia were required.
