The incidence of aneurysm rupture after the open surgical repair is fatal and often associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, an endovascular therapy which is a less invasive approach promotes effective aneurysm exclusion. This article provides insights about short and long-term outcomes of TEVAR in the ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm. Ruptured descending thoracic aortic aneurysm (rDTAA) accounts for 30% of cases in relation to all thoracic aortic aneurysm.
Conventional treatment practices include aneurysmectomy and replacement with an interposition of a prosthetic graft but this procedure remains controversial. According to several clinical studies, endovascular surgery has shown the most promising postoperative effectiveness and enables aneurysm exclusion without thoracotomy and aortic clamping.
