Abstract
- Endovascular therapy, proposed as an alternative to surgery, is considered a therapeutic innovation because of its low degree of invasiveness, allowing for the treatment of high-risk surgical patients and outcomes of limited complications and mortality. The combination of endovascular exclusion with cerebral branch revascularization for the treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms involving arch has also been attempted. With improved capability to recognize proper anatomy and select clinical candidates, endovascular therapy may offer a strategy to optimize management and improve prognosis for thoracic aortic aneurysm patients.
