[Endovascular repair of an aortic aneurysm by a custom-made three-inner branched endograft].
2021
We report the case of a total endovascular repair of an aortic arch aneurysm by a custom-made endograft with three inner branches for supra-aortic trunks in a high-risk patient unfit for open surgery. An 82-year-old female at high risk for open repair was treated for an asymptomatic aortic arch aneurysm (97 mm in diameter) by a custom-made three-inner branched endograft. Two anterograde branches were planned for the innominate trunk and the left carotid artery while a retrograde branch with a preloaded catheter was planned for the left subclavian artery. The procedure was successfully completed and postoperative course was uneventful. Computed tomography angiography demonstrated aneurysm exclusion, patency of the three supra-aortic branches and absence of cerebral ischemic lesion at 30 and 90 days. A custom-made endovascular device with three inner branches is a safe and effective option to guarantee a total endovascular repair of aortic arch aneurysm in high-risk patients in the presence of anatomical feasibility.
