Transaxillary Tri-Branch Aortic Endovascular Graft Repair of Recurrent Thoracoabdominal Aneurysm With Pararenal Aortic Occlusion

Abstract

The absence of an adequate ileo-femoral access is usually considered an absolute contraindication to fenestrated and branched aortic repairs. Alternative routes and dedicated stent-graft designs have been advocated. Hereby, we describe the case of a 73-year-old man with a recurrent type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm and complete thrombotic pararenal aortic occlusion treated successfully with a tri-branch custom-made endograft deployed via a transaxillary access.
