BackgroundEndovascular stent-grafting is an innovative procedure; we have developed a novel approach to treat distal arch aortic aneurysm through a small incision in the aortic arch.MethodsEight patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms were treated with an endovascular stent-graft that was introduced into the thoracic aorta through a small incision in the aortic arch. Of these patients, 7 had distal arch aortic aneurysms, and 1 had chronic aortic dissection of Stanford type B. Four of these patients had received concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting, and 1 patient had undergone tricuspid valvular annuloplasty. The stent-graft was introduced into the distal arch aorta and descending aorta through a small incision in the aortic arch, under selective cerebral perfusion and hypothermic circulatory arrest.ResultsThe selective cerebral perfusion time ranged from 52 to 86 minutes (mean, 68 minutes) and the operating time from 289 to 422 minutes (mean, 318 minutes). There was no endoluminal leakage into the aneurysm. Seven patients survived and were discharged, but 1 patient suffered a cerebral infarction and died during the follow-up period.ConclusionsPlacing an endovascular stent-graft through the aortic arch is an acceptable alternative treatment for distal arch aortic aneurysms.
