摘要
This study aims to present the performance data on stent-graft and multilayer bare stents (MBS) joint technique in the treatment of high-risk thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA).From May 2012 to December 2015, 8 selective TAAA cases (ages 46-75 years) ineligible for surgical repair underwent the stent-graft and MBS joint procedure, and were closely followed up for a median of 32 months (range 14-58). Using computed tomography images, the aneurysm size, luminal blood flow diameter, and the covered visceral branches were analyzed.Technical success was achieved in all patients (100%, 8/8). Twenty-four visceral branches were covered by MBS in total. There was no complication or death during hospital stay. During follow-up period, no death or complication occurred. Aneurysm shrinkage (maximum diameter decrease ≥5 mm) was observed in 7 patients. No aneurysm expansion was observed. Total aneurysm sac thrombosis was observed in all patients. The majority of covered side branches (23/24) were successfully preserved. No visceral ischemia or bleeding complications was observed during follow-up.Total endovascular repair of TAAA using stent-graft and MBS joint technique may be a safe and effective alternative in high surgical risk patients. More approving clinical evidences about the safety and efficacy of this procedure are anticipated.
