Authors' objectives:
The goals of endovascular repair (EVR) of the thoracic aorta are to prevent aneurysm enlargement and rupture by excluding the aneurysm from the arterial circulation. This minimally invasive technique is also used to treat thoracic aortic dissection (TAD), which involves replacing the torn segment of the aorta with a prosthetic graft. During EVR, a prosthetic endograft is passed via radiographic guidance through the common femoral or iliac artery to the site of repair, where it is deployed and attached to the normal aorta with a self-expandable stent system.
