Future or investigational therapies
Recent advances in thoracic aortic aneurysm treatment:
- The use of endovascular stent grafting, which is a less invasive alternative to open surgery, for the treatment of descending thoracic and thoracoabdominal aneurysms.
- Open-surgical versus endovascular stenting showed a decrease of operative mortality and a decrease in the occurrence of paraplegia, blood loss, length of ICU stay, and operative time with endovascular stenting.
- Even though late survival rates are equivalent between open surgical repair and endovascular repair, the early operative mortality rates of endovascular repair are lower
- The advances in aortic substitutes, cerebral protection, and perioperative care have led to improved results
