Endograft selection
The following statements can be made about thecurrent devices: No device is perfect. There is no good quality scientific evidence that any one device is better than the others. The majority of devices are chosen on the basis of personal preference and experience. The nitinol stent-grafts are magnetic resonance compatible so that the risk of irradiation can be reduced for the follow-up examinations.
In general, devices are oversized by 10–20% for aneurysms and slightly less for acute dissection (e.g. 5–10%). When selecting a device diameter for use in dissections, the caliber of the aorta just proximal to the dissection should be used. This will generally be the diameter of the mid-aortic arch. In acute dissections, a device length should be chosen to cover the main entry tear. In chronic dissection, devices should extend from just proximal to the entry tear to the diaphragm (Figs2.11 and 2.12).
Accessory tools
A variety of other tools may also be useful in thoracic aortic endografting procedures. Snares, such as the EV3 Gooseneck (EV3, Plymouth, MN) and Inter V Ensnare device (INTER-V, Gainesville, FL) (Fig. 2.13) are intended for use in thoracic endografting procedures to retrieve and manipu­late foreign objects and are useful when establish­ing brachio-femoral guide wire access to assist with delivery of the thoracic stent in cases of severely tortuous aortas. Embolization coils (Fig.2.14) may also be needed to treat a type II endoleak by coiling the origin of the left subclavian artery or to deposit the coils in the sac. Peripheral vascular stents and covered stents may be important tools when addressing iliac artery stenoses to help with delivery of the sheath and thoracic endoprosthesis.

Multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) has now replaced the old “gold standard” intra­arterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for assessing abdominal, thoracic, and cranial vasculature. MDCT raw data is captured in two-dimensional transverse sections; therefore to generate an angiographic display, a 3D workstation is required. To depict vascular anatomy on the workstation, specific anatomic projections must be created using one or more of the visualization techniques. The image projections must display the vascular region of interest in the correct viewing planes without being obscured by other vascular territories or non-cardiovascular struc­tures. Furthermore, the resultant images must be rendered with the correct window, level, and lighting settings to accurately depict normal anatomy and pathology. The volumetric data acquired enable the acquisition of views from any angle and perspective. MDCT has a superior diag­nostic accuracy in comparison with intra-arterial DSA in characterizing the neck of the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), identifying accessory renal arteries, and characterizing renal arterial stenoses.
The implantation of an infrarenal endoprosthe­sis is a relatively simple procedure, requiring preoperative length and diameter measurements

and accurate longitudinal device placement. However, designing and implanting a device which will accommodate the aortic branches is more complex: inappropriate orientation of the visceral branches will preclude successful endovascular repair. Essential information needed for preoperative assessment of aortic aneurysms includes the relation­ship of the aneurysm to the aortic branches, the degree of iliac arterial involvement with the aneu­rysm, the presence of other coexisting iliac arterial or aortic aneurysms, the presence of supernumerary or aberrant aortic branches, and the presence of coexis­tent iliac arterial occlusive disease.
On currently available 3D workstations, there are four principal visualization techniques: multiplanar (axial, sagittal, coronal, oblique) reconstruction (MPR), curved planar reformation (CPR), maximum intensity projection (MIP), and 3D volume ren­dering (VR) (Fig. 3.1). Automated and semi­automated vessel analysis tools are integrated to run these techniques. The generation of a center line of flow image allows the visualization of a tortuous aorta as if it were straightened or stretched out and aids greatly in the design of the endoprosthesis, par­ticularly in accurately measuring the correct length of the graft between key anatomic targets such as branch locations and vessel bifurcations (Fig.3.2).

curved planar reconstructions provide quick and clear visualization of the complex relationships of anatomy and pathology (Fig.3.6). The combined use of the various visualization techniques is critical in surgical planning.
The advantage of VR is the accurate spatial per­ception through a complete 3D angiographic over­view. Care however must be taken in interpreting these reformatted images; for example, a critical

avoid such pitfalls. With MPR, a two-dimensional analysis through the original dataset is performed in axial, coronal, sagittal, or oblique orientations. Analysis of the vessel wall and the flow lumen with accurate display of stenosis, occlusions, and calcifi­cation can be performed. The only disadvantage is the limited spatial display. MIP is also a two-dimensional analysis option for an angio­graphic overview, but semi-automated or complete manual editing is required to remove structural overlay. It can be useful to depict small caliber ves­sels and poorly enhanced vessels. Its accuracy is, however, limited in calcified vessels. Confirmation of stenosis and vessel caliber measurements should always be done with orthogonal MPR. As vessels curve in and out of the planes, standard MPRs cannot display an entire vascular territory and flow lumen in one image. To obtain a complete longitudinal vessel display, the solution is to

generate a longitudinal cross-section using either two-dimensional or rotating CPR techniques.
The measurements required for accurate planning of branched and fenestrated endografts are complex and beyond the scope of what can be achieved accurately with standard two-dimensional axial images and table positions to measure aortic lengths and the relative positions of visceral arteries. Indeed, there is significant potential for error when trying to measure aortic lengths using a combination of coronal and sagittal images of the angulated aorta. The evolution of modern worksta­tions has consigned these difficulties to history with rapid generation of accurate 3D images now feasible in real time (Figs3.7 and 3.8). It is likely that some of the ongoing improvements in clinical outcomes that are continuously being reported in the endovascular literature are in part attributable to more accurate graft design with consequent

CHAPTER 4
Technique of thoracic endografting for thoracic aneurysm using the approved Gore TAG device
Jacques Kpodonu
University of California Irvine, Cardiovascular Hybrid Interventions, Hoag Heart and Vascular Institute, Newport Beach, CA, USA
The technique of thoracic endografting for the treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysm [1] using a Gore TAG device (W.L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, AZ) (Fig.4.1) is preferably performed in ahybrid operating room (Fig.4.2) or an endovas­cular suite provided the patient is an adequate candidate for endovascular repair. The procedure isperformed under general anesthesia with spinal drainage selected for patients who have had a previous open surgical repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm or patients considered high risk for paraplegia.
Percutaneous retrograde access of the common femoral artery is obtained in one groin and open retrograde cannulation of the contralateral common femoral artery performed with an 18 gauge needle (Fig. 4.3). An 0.035 inch soft-tip angled glide wire (Medi-tech/Boston Scientific, Natick, MA) is passed into the distal thoracic aorta (Fig. 4.4). A 9 Fr sheath is usually placed in the open common femoral artery and, similarly, 5 Fr sheath placed in the percutaneously accessed common femoral artery under fluoroscopic visual­ization. A dose of 5000 units of heparin is given to keep the activated clotted time at greater than 200 seconds. A 5 Fr pigtail catheter is advanced through
the percutaneous sheath into the ascending thoracic aorta for an ascending and arch angiogram which is saved as a road map picture (Fig.4.5). The fluoro­scopic C-arm is positioned in a left anterior oblique angle and an oblique thoracic arch aortogram is performed to visualize the arch vessels and the descending thoracic aortic aneurysm (Fig.4.6).
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) (Fig.4.7) can be performed to provide more information on the proximal and distal neck diameter, length of thoracic aorta involved with the aneurysm, presence or absence of thrombus in the neck, and any other pathology that may have been missed on the angiogram or preoperative computed tomog­raphy (CT) angiogram of the thoracic aorta (see Fig.4.1). The 5 Fr pigtail catether is exchanged for an extra stiff 260 cm double curve Lunderquist wire (Cook Medical, Bloomington, IN). The 9 Fr groin sheath in the open cannulated femoral artery is exchanged for an appropriate-sized device sheath which is advanced to the distal thoracic aorta (Fig.4.8). The endograft is subsequently advanced through the device sheath and positioned into the thoracic aorta to exclude the thoracic aneurysm (Fig.4.9). Prior to deployment, the proximal and distal landing zones identified are marked on

angiographic road map. At the time of deployment of the endoluminal graft, a systolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg is achieved to decrease the “windsock” effect in the thoracic aorta. We have not felt the need for adenosine-induced asystole. The device is deployed (Fig.4.10a) and a Gore tri-lobe balloon (Fig. 4.10b) is used to perform post-deployment balloon angioplasty to both the proximal and distal segments of the graft for good fixation and any areas of overlap if more than one graft is deployed. A completion angiogram is then performed to con­firm exclusion of the aneurysm and to determine if any endoleak is present (Fig.4.11).
All wires and sheaths are removed from the right common femoral artery with the incision closed in a transverse fashion (Fig.4.12). A 6 Fr angioseal vascular closure device (St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN) is deployed to the common femoral artery that was percutaneously accessed (Fig.4.13). At the end of the procedure confirma­tion of the presence of bilateral peripheral pulses is performed, the patient is extubated prior to leaving the operating room, and is transferred to the recovery room. The blood pressure is kept ele­vated using a pressor agent if needed to keep the mean arterial pressure greater than 90 mmHg. A postoperative CT scan of the chest (Fig.4.14) is
