descendingthoracicaorta.
VariousdevicesarecurrentlyFDAapprovedforTEVAR,withgrowingevidencesupporting
theirsafetyandefficacy.
Carefulpreoperativeplanningisindispensableinordertochoosethecorrectstenttypeand
minimizecomplications.
Revascularizationanddebranchingprocedures(hybridrepair)shouldbeconsideredonan
individualizedbasis.
Endovasculartreatmenthaslessperioperativemorbidityandmortalitythanopenrepair;
however,long-termresultsregardingthedurabilityandreliabilityofthesedevicesare scarce.
I.Introduction
Since the preliminary reports on thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in 1994,1 major advancementshavebeenachievedinthestentmaterials,sizes,conformability,grafttapering,techniques of deployment, and the applications of this life-saving method of treatment. TEVAR has successfully reoriented thecurrent treatment guidelines ofdescendingthoracic aortic aneurysms (DTAs) as TEVAR permitstheintroductionofastentgraftintothedescendingorthoracoabdominalaortathroughaminimally invasiveincision.AlthoughTEVARwasinitiallyintroducedforthetreatmentofdegenerativeaneurysmal aorticdiseasesinnonsurgicalcandidates,TEVARisnowconsideredavalidtreatmentoptionforanarray ofotheraorticpathologies,withtheadvantagesoflowermorbidity,avoidanceofathoracotomyincision, and the elimination of the need for partial or total circulatory support. This chapter discusses the endovascularrepairofaorticpathologiesafflictingthedescendingthoracicaorta.
II.AnatomicBackground
Thedescendingaortais thelongestsegmentofthethoracicaorta,beginning attheisthmusbetweenthe originoftheleftsubclavianarteryandtheligamentumarteriosum andcoursinganteriortothevertebral 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 retroperitoneallytoitsbifurcationintothecommoniliacarteriesatthelevelofthefourthlumbarvertebra.
A.LandingZones
For the purpose of describing the extentof 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 debranchingprocedure(Fig.6.1):
Zone0:Proximaltothetakeoffoftheinnominateartery
Zone1:Distaltotheinnominateartery,butproximaltotheoriginoftheleftcommoncarotidartery

B.SpinalPerfusion
Thespinalcordissuppliedbybranchesofthevertebralartery:oneanteriorspinalartery(supplyingthe anterior two-thirds of the spinal cord) andtwo posterior spinal arteries (supplyingthe posterior one­third),whichanastomose distallyatthe conus medullaris. Thethoracicaortaisdependentonradicular contributionstotheanteriorspinalarteryviathearteryofAdamkiewicz,whichcanbefoundbetweenT9 andT12in75%ofindividuals,andothersegmental(intercostal)arteries.

III.IndicationsforTEVAR
TEVARwasinitiallyintroducedforthetreatmentofthoracicaorticaneurysmsinpatientswhocouldnot tolerateopenrepair.KeystonetrialsledtoapprovalbytheUnitedStatesFoodandDrugAdministration (FDA)in2005.4Sincethen,TEVARhasbeenatreatmentmodalityforotheraorticpathologies,suchas aorticdissection,blunttraumaticaorticinjury,andpenetratingaorticulcers.
5,6
TEVARhasalsoexpanded
itsreachbeyondtheoriginalnonsurgicalpatientstopatientswhowouldalsobesuitableforopensurgery.
A.ThoracicAorticAneurysms
1.PatientswithlargeDTAsareatriskofdirecomplicationssuchasruptureordissection.Theriskof
complicationsincreasesasthediameterofthedescendingaortaenlarges,witha“hingepoint”at7cm.
7,8
However,bythe time theaorta reachesthis size,43% ofpatients suffer a devastatingcomplication.
9
Survival can be improved with preemptive open surgical repair of the aorta, before these critical diametersarereached.
10,11
Althoughthereisapaucityofdatacomparingendovascularrepairtomedical
management,itisplausibletoassumethatoutcomeswouldbebetterwithendovascularrepair(ratherthan purelymedicalmanagement)inpatientswithindicationsforopensurgicalintervention.
2.Thecurrentrecommendations forTEVARinpatientswithdegenerativeaneurysms ofthedescending
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 implantingamembrane-coveredstent-graftacrossthelesion,inordertopreventfurtherenlargementand eventualaorticrupture.InDTAs,itisrecommendedthatstent-graftexceedthereferenceaorticdiameter atthelandingzonebyatleast10%-15%(toproducea“seal”).
B.ThoracicAorticDissection
1. Repair ofdescending aortic dissection (DescAD) (type B in Stanford classification,or type III in
DeBakeyclassification)isindicatedinpatientswithcomplications,whichtypicallyoccurwithinthefirst 2weeksofdiagnosis,affectingapproximately25%ofpatients.
10–13
Thesuitablecomplicationsinclude
thefollowing:
a. End-organmalperfusion
b. Refractorypaininspiteofoptimizedmedicaltreatment(OMT)
c. Rapid expansion if the false lumen (which may be appreciated over the first several months
https://t.me/med1917
followinganacutepresentation)
d. Impendingorfrankrupture
e. AneurysmaldilationinachronicDescADmeetingcriteriaforrepair
2.TEVARaimstostabilizethedissectedaortatopreventlatecomplicationsbyinducingfavorableaortic
remodeling.Obliterationoftheintimaltearbyimplantationofastent-grafthelpsredirectbloodflowinto the truelumen(TL),thusimprovingdistal perfusion.14At least 1 or 2 cm ofdissected aortamustbe coveredtoprovidestentfixation.Thrombosisofthefalselumen(FL)isalsopromotedbystentgrafting, whichinducesthebeneficialprocessofaorticremodeling.
3. For uncomplicated DescAD, reports from the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection
(IRAD)shownobenefitofTEVARovermedicaltherapy.15ForcomplicatedacuteDescAD,TEVARis thetreatmentofchoice.
16
4.TheINvestigationofSTEntgraftsinpatientswithtypeBAorticDissection(INSTEADtrial),
17
which
compared TEVAR+ OMTwith OMTaloneinpatients withuncomplicated typeB AD, has shownno significantdifference in the2-year all-cause mortality, with88.0% survival at 2 years inthe TEVAR group,versus95.6%intheOMTgroup.Five-yearfollow-up(theINSTEAD-XLtrial)wasconductedvia a special (controversial) statistical analysis method(Landmarkanalysis).18 Analysis showed thatall- cause mortality in the TEVAR + OMT group versus OMT-alone group was 11.1% versus 19.3% (P=0.13),aorticdeathswere6.9%versus19.3%(P=0.04),andprogressionofthepathologyoccurred in27%versus46.1%(P=0.04),respectively.
5.TheINSTEAD-XLtrialwasdesignedtoevaluatepatientswithmorechronicdissections(56daysin
the stent-graft group vs 75 days inthe medical managementgroup). The controversyarose inthat the Landmarkmethoddoesnotincludeperiproceduralearlymortalityintheanalysis.Detractorspointoutthat thechoiceofLandmarkanalysismayhaveproducedbetterapparentoutcomesthanwouldhavebeenseen withstandardanalyticmethods.
C.OtherPathologies
TEVARcanalsobeutilizedinpatientswithbluntthoracicaorticinjuriesduetohigh-speeddeceleration, with significantly lower perioperative morbidity and mortality compared with open repair.19 Other lesionsinthespectrumofaorticdissection(e.g.,intramuralhematoma/penetratingaorticulcer)canalso bemanagedwithanendovasculartechnique,soastoexcludetheaorticlesion,ortocovertheintimaltear inany coexistentdissection.Endovascular techniques can also beutilized in cases of aortoesophageal fistulaasatemporizingmeasuretopreventexsanguinationandallowforfluidresuscitation.
20
IV.EndograftStructure
Endovascular grafts are usuallyinserted via atransfemoral approach.Upondeployment, theendograft self-expandstoexcludethenativediseasedaortafromthecirculationandcomesincontactwiththeaortic wallproximallyanddistallyinatight-sealfashion(Fig.6.2).Significantvariationsingraftdesignexist. However,allstentsarecomposedofadeliverysystem,maindevice,anddeviceextensions.

PermissionforusegrantedbyCookMedical,Bloomington,Indiana.
A.DeliverySystem
The sizeofthe deliverysheathdepends on the diameter oftheendograft that needs tobedeployedto provideappropriatefixation.Deliveryisusuallyaccomplishedviaafemoralapproachbydirectsurgical cutdown. If the diameter of the femoral or iliac artery is too small to withstand the delivery system, accesscanbeobtainedbydirectpunctureoftheiliacarteryortheaortaviaaretroperitonealincision,or bysuturingasyntheticconduitontotheiliacartery.
B.MainDevice
Theendograftcanbestraightortaperedandmayormaynothavealongitudinalsupport.Thegraftself­expands, but subsequent ballooning is an option. Fixation systems may include barbs or uncovered proximalstents.
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 completeseal.
V.AvailableEndograftsforTEVAR
Multiple devices are currently FDA approved for thoracic endovascular repair from different manufacturers(Table6.1). ThesedevicesincludetheGore TAGandCTAG(W.L. Gore & Associates, Newark, DE), Zenith TX2 and Zenith Alpha (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN), Valiant (Medtronic Vascular,SantaRosa,CA),andtheRelay(BoltonMedical,Sunrise,FL).
