The purpose was to review outcome data following endovascular repair of the descending thoracic aorta from reports published between 1994 and 2004. To accomplish this task, 1,518 patients underwent endovascular repair for thoracic aortic disease; 810 thoracic aortic aneurysms, 500 type B thoracic aortic dissections, and 106 traumatic ruptures. The 30-day mortality rate was 5.5% and 6% for late postoperative deaths. The primary technical success rate was 97%, with only 15 patients requiring open conversion. Neurologic deficits occurred in 29 patients. In total, 118 endoleaks were reported; 29 were restented, and the remainder required surgical intervention. Graft infection occurred in 6 cases, and migrations were detected in 10. The conclusion reached is that endovascular repair of descending thoracic aortic disease is feasible and can be achieved with low rates of perioperative morbidity and mortality. As few long-term data exist on the durability of thoracic stent grafts, lifelong surveillance remains necessary.

The purpose of this article is to report the initial experience with endovascular repair of thoracic aortic disease in a single tertiary vascular unit in northwestern Greece. Between 2003 and 2005, 16 patients were treated with endovascular techniques for various pathologies of the descending thoracic aorta. Twelve patients were treated electively and four emergently. Operative and follow-up data for a mean time of 18.4 months were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Primary technical success was obtained in 14 (87.5%) cases. No early or late deaths occurred, and there was no major operation-related complication. No paraplegia was observed in our patients. Stent graft–related complications occurred in 18.75% (one type 2 and two type 3 endoleaks), but they all had a favorable outcome. No further problems have been reported in any of our patients. Endovascular stent graft repair for diseases of the thoracic aorta seems to be a promising alternative to open surgery, especially for high-risk patients. Long-term results are needed to confirm the early benefit of this treatment option with regard to morbidity and mortality rates. The potential of this technique to be applicable even in relatively small, tertiary vascular centers might be of great benefit to patients.
