Abstract:
Endovascular stent graft repair was developed to minimize the invasiveness of open surgery for thoracic and abdominal aortic diseases. This approach involves covering the diseased segment with a stented artificial graft. However, in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for aortic arch diseases, special consideration is needed to preserve the aortic arch vessels. Standard stent grafts often require additional procedures, such as bypass surgery, to reconstruct the arch vessels. The semi-custom-made Najuta fenestrated stent graft was developed to address this issue. It is a three-dimensional patient-specific stent graft with fenestrations that allow for the preservation of the arch vessels. This study discusses the unique features of the Najuta stent graft and the techniques for its deployment, and it provides an analysis of treatment outcomes based on the current literature.
