AORTIC STIFFNESS MODIFICATIONS AFTER ENDOVASCULAR AORTIC REPAIR
Background: Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR and TEVAR) has transformed the management of aortic aneurysms and dissections through its minimally invasive approach and favorable short-term outcomes. However, concerns regarding the long-term cardiovascular implications of endograft implantation have …

Outcomes after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in patients with traumatic thoracic aortic injuries (TTAI) - a single center retrospective review
… Blunt and penetrating traumatic thoracic aortic injuries constitute surgical emergencies that are attended with high mortality rates. Most patients do not survive long enough, post injury, to reach a hospital. On-site mortality rates may approach approximately 85%. Two main treatment …

Clinical Aspects on Chimney Stent Graft Technique in Endovascular Repair of the Aorta.
Introduction: Open repair of the aorta carries a high risk for morbidity and mortality especially in the elderly population and in patients unfit for major surgery. Endovascular aortic repair is safe, durable and effective when there is adequate proximal and distal sealing zone for the aortic stent …

Development of a novel uncovered stent system for the management of complex aortic aneurysms
Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery for the treatment of aortic aneurysms (AA). However, standard EVAR is not applicable to complex AA with involvement of vital branches, which could be occluded by the endograft. As an emerging technique, the …

Patient-specific thoracic endovascular aoratic repair (TEVAR)
Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) is a minimally invasive procedure to treat aortic aneurysms. Current off-the-shelf devices may not fit the patient perfectly, potentially increasing the chance of post-operative complications. This project aims to provide proof of concept for rapidly creating …
