Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) is a challenging vascular condition to manage. Traditionally, open surgical repair has been the standard of treatment. Endovascular repair for TAAA has gained much popularity because it is a minimally invasive approach that results in better mortality and morbidity profiles. We report a case of TAAA successfully treated with a custom-made multi-branch device through a total femoral approach with the use of a steerable sheath for branch cannulation and deployment of bridging stents to targeted visceral vessels. This approach avoided complications related to upper extremity access, such as stroke, and allowed shorter operative time with better workstation ergonomics.
胸腹主动脉瘤(TAAA)是一种治疗颇具挑战性的血管疾病。传统上,开放手术修复一直是治疗的标准方法。TAAA的血管内修复术因其是一种微创方法,能带来更好的死亡率和发病率数据而备受欢迎。我们报告了一例TAAA患者,通过全股动脉入路,使用可转向鞘管进行分支插管,并将桥接支架部署到目标内脏血管,成功地用定制的多分支装置进行了治疗。这种方法避免了与上肢入路相关的并发症,如中风,并缩短了手术时间,同时改善了手术台的人体工程学设计。
