| Abstract | Artery Group. Endovascular Therapy Unit, Interventional Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery Full Member of Sociedad Argentina de Cardiología † To qualify for Full Member of Sociedad Argentina de Cardiología 1 Fundaciòn Médica de Río Negro y Neuquén Background The safety and efficacy of endovascular repair of descending thoracic aorta depends on certain anatomical conditions, in particular the presence of a healthy segment of the aorta (proximal neck). In a significant proportion of patients, the proximal neck is inadequate or non-existent. A bypass or transposition of the left subclavian artery would maintain an adequate perfusion of the left arm after stent-graft implantation. However, this surgical approach is not always feasible in unstable patients who are treated urgently or that have multiple comorbidities. |
