Abstract: | Transluminal endovascular repair of the vascular system is rapidly emerging as a leading therapeutic modality for aortic dissections and aneurysms. The use of transluminal endovascular stent grafting has been used to intervene successfully on the aorta and its major branch vessels. There have been several studies examining transluminal endovascular stent grafting of thoracic aortic aneurysms, dissections, and abdominal aortic aneurysms. This paper reviews some of the major trials of transluminal endovascular stent grafting as well as its major limitation, endoleak. |
