| Abstract: | Thoracic endovascular aortic repair, a minimally invasive technique is replacing the maximally invasive gold standard of thoracotomy and replacement of the descending thoracic aorta. With experience, indications have expanded to encroach on the arch and even ascending aorta. This review highlights the current state of technology, discusses controversies, and takes the perspective of a forward-thinking review to describe novel, innovative techniques that might make the entire thoracic aorta amenable to minimally invasive repair. |
