This international retrospective study evaluated ascending thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for zone 0 ascending aortic pathology in patients generally unsuitable for open repair. Between 2011 and 2024, 58 patients...
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is the preferred management for pathology of the descending thoracic aorta, including penetrating aortic ulcers, dissections, and blunt trauma. TEVAR often requires exclusion of the...
As interventional techniques continue to gain popularity in cardiothoracic surgery, familiarity and mastery of these techniques are increasingly important for trainees and early career surgeons. The authors discuss core endovascular...
A cohort of 2145 patients from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection were compared according to whether they had axillary (1106 [52 percent]) or femoral (1039 [48 percent]) arterial...
An important free-access report on the PARTNER 3 trial that discusses the TAVI-first policy in patietns with Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality risk less than 4% (...
This free-access report raises a number of research questions in light of a relatively unsatisfactory response of 55 percent that may reflect unrecorded deaths and should be addressed in future...
There could be some translational value for cardiovascular surgical practice from this prospective cardiovascular health study. The mechanistic link warrants further investigation and interpretation.
...This is a compreshensive review on the experience with use of TEVAR in patients with Marfan syndrome, including durablity, complications, and timing, etc. Drs. Steinmetz and Cosellihe also discussed the...
