Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is routinely used in our Institution for monitoring correct positioning of thoracic aortic stent grafts. We present a case of successful endovascular repair of three discrete thoracic aortic aneurysms with Zenith TX2 endovascular stent grafts in an 82-year-old female patient. Our focus is on the increased value of TEE guidance because of the ability of partial stent deployment and manipulation during insertion.
经食管超声心动图(TEE)在我们机构中常规用于监测胸主动脉覆膜支架的正确定位。我们报告了一例82岁女性患者成功使用Zenith TX2血管内覆膜支架对三个离散的胸主动脉瘤进行血管内修复的病例。我们关注的重点是TEE引导的附加价值,因为在置入过程中能够进行部分支架展开和操作。
