Endovascular stent graft repair was developed to minimize the invasiveness of open surgery for thoracic and abdominal aortic diseases. This approach involves covering the diseased segment with a stented artificial graft. However, in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for aortic arch diseases, special consideration is needed to preserve the aortic arch vessels. Standard stent grafts often require additional procedures, such as bypass surgery, to reconstruct the arch vessels. The semi-custom-made Najuta fenestrated stent graft was developed to address this issue. It is a three-dimensional patient-specific stent graft with fenestrations that allow for the preservation of the arch vessels. This study discusses the unique features of the Najuta stent graft and the techniques for its deployment, and it provides an analysis of treatment outcomes based on the current literature.
血管内支架移植物修复术的发展是为了尽量减少胸主动脉和腹主动脉疾病开放手术的侵入性。这种方法包括用带支架的人工移植物覆盖病变段。然而,在用于主动脉弓疾病的胸主动脉腔内修复术(TEVAR)中,需要特别考虑保留主动脉弓血管。标准支架移植物通常需要额外的手术,如搭桥手术,来重建弓血管。半定制的Najuta开窗支架移植物就是为解决这个问题而开发的。它是一种针对患者的三维开窗支架移植物,可保留弓血管。本研究讨论了Najuta支架移植物的独特特征及其植入技术,并根据现有文献对治疗结果进行了分析。
