DURABILITY OF ENDOVASCULAR REPAIR OF THE AORTIC ARCH WITH THE NEXUS AORTIC ARCH STENT GRAFT SYSTEM

San Camillo Hospital & Filippo Neri Hospital
Rome, Italy

The patient was discharged and followed up with the hospital’s standard of care. The 39-month follow-up computed tomography angiography illustrated the stable exclusion of the false lumen.

NEXUS AORTIC ARCH STENT GRAFT SYSTEM AND THE STABILISE TECHNIQUE TO SUCCESSFULLY TREAT A RESIDUAL TYPE A DISSECTION WITH ANEURYSMAL DEGENERATION

Hôpital Européen Georges-Pompidou
Paris, France

Post-operative course was uneventful, and the patient could be discharged at day 4 after 2 days of CSF drainage surveillance in the ICU. Pre-discharge control computed tomography confirmed optimal positioning of NEXUS in relation to a kink in the proximal ascending aorta surgical prosthesis, exclusion of proximal entry tear and a satisfying result of the STABILISE technique.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY STAGED ENDOVASCULAR REPAIR OF THE AORTIC ARCH WITH NEXUS™

Interventional Radiology & Cardiovascular Department,
Aretaeio Hospital
Nicosia, Cyprus

The patient was discharged 1 day after the endovascular procedure. The discharge computed tomography angiography confirmed the absence of endoleaks proximally with an expected retrograde endoleak Type 1B which will be resolved at Stage 3.

FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH SENTINEL IN HIGH STROKE RISK PATIENT WITH AORTIC ARCH ANEURYSM

Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda
Madrid, Spain

Postoperative cerebral imaging didn’t reveal any sign of stroke, hemorrhage or respective micro bleeds, but slight signs of amyloidosis. Some days later, the patient was discharged home.

Symptomatic Aortic Arch Contained Rupture

Royal Brompton Hospital
London, UK

Due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure, the patient was able to leave her bed very quickly and was discharged within a few days, with her recovery time reduced from several weeks.
