I.Introduction
Since the preliminary reports on thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in 1994,1 major
advancementshavebeenachievedinthestentmaterials,sizes,conformability,grafttapering,techniques
of deployment, and the applications of this life-saving method of treatment. TEVAR has successfully
reoriented thecurrent treatment guidelines ofdescendingthoracic aortic aneurysms (DTAs) as TEVAR
permitstheintroductionofastentgraftintothedescendingorthoracoabdominalaortathroughaminimally
invasiveincision.AlthoughTEVARwasinitiallyintroducedforthetreatmentofdegenerativeaneurysmal
aorticdiseasesinnonsurgicalcandidates,TEVARisnowconsideredavalidtreatmentoptionforanarray
ofotheraorticpathologies,withtheadvantagesoflowermorbidity,avoidanceofathoracotomyincision,
and the elimination of the need for partial or total circulatory support. This chapter discusses the
endovascularrepairofaorticpathologiesafflictingthedescendingthoracicaorta.
II.AnatomicBackground
Thedescendingaortais thelongestsegmentofthethoracicaorta,beginning attheisthmusbetweenthe
originoftheleftsubclavianarteryandtheligamentumarteriosum andcoursinganteriortothevertebral
column, giving off paired thoracic arteries (T1-T12), and then traversing the aortic hiatus in the
diaphragm into the abdomen to continue as the abdominal aorta. The abdominal aorta extends
retroperitoneallytoitsbifurcationintothecommoniliacarteriesatthelevelofthefourthlumbarvertebra.
A.LandingZones
For the purpose of describing the extentof endovascular coverage,the thoracic aorta is divided into
landing zones,2 which determine the location of the stent and define the need for a concomitant
debranchingprocedure(Fig.6.1):
■Zone0:Proximaltothetakeoffoftheinnominateartery

7,8
However,bythe time theaorta reachesthis size,43% ofpatients suffer a devastatingcomplication.

Survival can be improved with preemptive open surgical repair of the aorta, before these critical
diametersarereached.

2.Thecurrentrecommendations forTEVARinpatientswithdegenerativeaneurysms ofthedescending
thoracic aorta include aortic size exceeding 5.5 cm, saccular aneurysms, or postoperative
pseudoaneurysms (class: Ib).10 TEVAR aims to exclude the aortic aneurysm from the circulation by
implantingamembrane-coveredstent-graftacrossthelesion,inordertopreventfurtherenlargementand

B.ThoracicAorticDissection
1. Repair ofdescending aortic dissection (DescAD) (type B in Stanford classification,or type III in
DeBakeyclassification)isindicatedinpatientswithcomplications,whichtypicallyoccurwithinthefirst
2weeksofdiagnosis,affectingapproximately25%ofpatients.

Thesuitablecomplicationsinclude

4.TheINvestigationofSTEntgraftsinpatientswithtypeBAorticDissection(INSTEADtrial),

which
compared TEVAR+ OMTwith OMTaloneinpatients withuncomplicated typeB AD, has shownno
significantdifference in the2-year all-cause mortality, with88.0% survival at 2 years inthe TEVAR
group,versus95.6%intheOMTgroup.Five-yearfollow-up(theINSTEAD-XLtrial)wasconductedvia
a special (controversial) statistical analysis method(Landmarkanalysis).18 Analysis showed thatall-
cause mortality in the TEVAR + OMT group versus OMT-alone group was 11.1% versus 19.3%
(P=0.13),aorticdeathswere6.9%versus19.3%(P=0.04),andprogressionofthepathologyoccurred
in27%versus46.1%(P=0.04),respectively.
5.TheINSTEAD-XLtrialwasdesignedtoevaluatepatientswithmorechronicdissections(56daysin
the stent-graft group vs 75 days inthe medical managementgroup). The controversyarose inthat the
Landmarkmethoddoesnotincludeperiproceduralearlymortalityintheanalysis.Detractorspointoutthat
thechoiceofLandmarkanalysismayhaveproducedbetterapparentoutcomesthanwouldhavebeenseen

C.OtherPathologies
TEVARcanalsobeutilizedinpatientswithbluntthoracicaorticinjuriesduetohigh-speeddeceleration,
with significantly lower perioperative morbidity and mortality compared with open repair.19 Other

A.DeliverySystem
The sizeofthe deliverysheathdepends on the diameter oftheendograft that needs tobedeployedto
provideappropriatefixation.Deliveryisusuallyaccomplishedviaafemoralapproachbydirectsurgical
cutdown. If the diameter of the femoral or iliac artery is too small to withstand the delivery system,
accesscanbeobtainedbydirectpunctureoftheiliacarteryortheaortaviaaretroperitonealincision,or
bysuturingasyntheticconduitontotheiliacartery.
B.MainDevice
Theendograftcanbestraightortaperedandmayormaynothavealongitudinalsupport.Thegraftselfexpands, but subsequent ballooning is an option. Fixation systems may include barbs or uncovered
proximalstents.
C.Extensions
These are utilized during deployment if adequate positioning of the endograft is not obtained, or if
postdeployment aortography reveals endoleaks. Proximal or distal extension devices can provide a
completeseal.
V.AvailableEndograftsforTEVAR

1. The TAG device (W.L. Gore & Associates) is a flexible tube-shaped stent-graft, lined with
polytetrafluorethylene(ePTFE)“Teflon”andcoveredwithanadditionallayerofTeflonandfluorinated
ethylene propylene (FEP), to further reduce friction and the occurrence of endoleaks (Fig.6.3). It is
supported through itsentire lengthwithanitinol exoskeleton. Theproximal endofthegraftconsistsof

3. Thesafety and efficacyof theZenith TX2endograftwere evaluatedin a multicenter study of 230
patientswithDTAs,whoweretreatedwithTEVAR(n=160)oropenrepair(n=70).30Perioperative
morbidity was significantly lower for endovascular repair (composite index 1.3 vs 2.9, P < 0.01).
Endovascular repair was also associated with fewer cardiovascular and pulmonary adverse events;
however,incidenceofneurologiceventswasnotsignificantlydifferent.At12months,aneurysmgrowth
wasidentifiedin7.1%,endoleakin3.9%,andmigration(>10mm)in2.8%oftheendovascularpatients.
4. The Zenith TX2 dissection system shares a similar design, and its efficacy was evaluated in the
STABLE trial, in 40 patients with complicated DescAD, defined by branch vessel malperfusion,
impendingrupture,aorticdiameter≥40mm,rapidaorticexpansion,andpersistentpainorhypertension
despitemaximummedicaltherapy.32Sevencombinationsofstentgraftsanddissectionstentswereused,
and all devices were successfully deployed and patent. One-year survival rate was 90%. Morbidity
occurring within 30 days includedstroke(7.5%),transient ischemicattack (2.5%), paraplegia (2.5%),
retrogradedissection(5%),andrenalfailure(12.5%).Favorableaorticremodelingwasobservedduring
