[Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair for Idiopathic Aortic Rupture].

Abstract

Idiopathic aortic rupture is a rare but often fatal condition that requires urgent attention and repair. I have performed thoracic endovascular aortic repair ( TEVAR) in two cases of idiopathic aortic rupture and have achieved positive results. It can be difficult to identify the site of rupture in these cases. Therefore, it is necessary to lengthen treatment and to determine the potential for spinal cord ischemia and associated paralysis of the lower extremities. Given its association with a favorable postoperative recovery, TEVAR can be considered as a minimally-invasive option that can be used early to treat this condition, including those associated with hemodynamic instability and in patients who are at high risk for complications.
