Dynamic Morphology of Dilated Ascending Aorta and its Implications for Proximal Landing During Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair
If the middle ascending aorta is dilated, it is considered unsuitable to perform TEVAR with a proximal landing in the aortic segment at the sinotubular junction due to its pronounced reversed-funnel segmental morphology and high risk of type Ia endoleak and endograft migration. By contrast, the aortic segment at the brachiocephalic trunk seems to be promising for performing TEVAR due to its moderate funnel morphology using an endograft of appropriate size and conformability.
