Abstract

In an effort to decrease the morbidity of conventional open thoracic aortic aneurysm repair, we have witnessed in the last 10 years an expansion in the use of stent grafts as an alternative treatment option. This approach has provided a treatment option for patients with multiple medical comorbidities who may otherwise have been considered excessively high risk for standard open reconstruction. Results have identified promising procedural success while limiting complications and mortality rates. A review of contemporary results as well as patient and device characteristics is the focus of this article.
