How We Would Treat Our Own Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm

J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth. 2024 Feb;38(2):379-387. doi: 10.1053/j.jvca.2023.10.034. Epub 2023 Oct 28.

Abstract

This manuscript is intended to provide a comprehensive review of the current state of knowledge on endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs). The management of these complex aneurysms requires an interdisciplinary and patient-specific approach in high-volume centers. An index case is used to discuss the diagnosis and treatment of a patient undergoing fenestrated-branched endovascular aneurysm repair for a TAAA.

Keywords: anesthesia; endovascular surgery; fenestrated-branched endovascular repair; spinal cord ischemia; thoracoabdominal aneurysms.
