The effect of left subclavian artery coverage on morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing endovascular thoracic aortic interventions: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: Thoracic endografts (stent grafts) have emerged as a less invasive modality to treat various thoracic aortic lesions. The intentional coverage of the left subclavian artery (LSA) during the placement of these endografts is associated ... Read more...

The Society for Vascular Surgery Practice Guidelines: management of the left subclavian artery with thoracic endovascular aortic repair.

30 Oct 2009 The Society for Vascular Surgery pursued development of clinical practice guidelines for the management of the left subclavian artery with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). In formulating clinical practice guidelines, the society selected ... Read more...

Re-do aortic root replacement after an allograft aortic root replacement.

29 Sep 2009 Structural degeneration of allograft aortic root is a global process. In addition to valvular degeneration, the allograft wall calcification poses a risk of systemic calcific embolization and late phase anastomotic aneurysm formation and rupture ... Read more...
