Modified deployment technique of off-the-shelf Gore thoracoabdominal multibranch endoprosthesis for post-dissection thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair

J Vasc Surg Cases Innov Tech. 2024 Sep 19;10(6):101632. doi: 10.1016/j.jvscit.2024.101632. eCollection 2024 Dec.

Abstract

The Thoracoabdominal Multibranch Endoprosthesis (TAMBE) is a commercially available off-the-shelf four-vessel inner branched endograft for complex abdominal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. As post-dissection thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (PD-TAAAs) were excluded from the pivotal trials, there is paucity of data on the use of TAMBE in PD-TAAAs. Here, we present a case demonstrating the feasibility of TAMBE in conjunction with iliac branch endoprosthesis to repair PD-TAAAs, with focus on the deployment technique specific to PD-TAAAs.
