Summary: This report presents a case of penetrating aortic ulcer in zone 0 of the ascending aorta treated with transcarotid endovascular stent graft, with the patient having a successful postoperative course without evidence of stroke. The transcarotid approach is highlighted as an optimal alternative access for endovascular ascending aortic repair in certain patients.

Summary: This article describes an emergent in situ fenestration (ISF) technique in the ascending aorta for the endovascular repair of a large pseudoaneurysm using a trans-septal needle device through direct right common carotid artery access. The technique was performed in a multidisciplinary teamwork approach. The article highlights the importance of ISF as a valid option in emergency cases and emphasizes the significance of a multidisciplinary working environment.

Summary: Inflammatory thoracic aortic aneurysms are rare aortic conditions that are typically treated with resection and replacement, but thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been shown to be a less invasive alternative when inflammation is properly managed. This study reviewed 21 surgeries for inflammatory TAAs in 17 patients and found that mid-term outcomes were acceptable, with no aorta-related complications during follow-up and a 5-year freedom from all-cause death of 92.9%.

Summary: In this study, we aimed to quantify the deformation of the thoracic aorta after ascending TEVAR. The results showed that the pulsatile deformation of the ascending aorta was damped by the endograft, while the native thoracic aorta did not experience significant changes.

Summary: Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms are often linked to prior cardiac surgeries with a high risk of rupture. While open surgery is challenging due to potential reoperations, endovascular therapy can be a viable alternative with the important adjunct of total cerebral embolic protection to prevent stroke complications.

Summary: We report a case of a 72-year-old male with an ascending aortic anastomotic pseudoaneurysm after Dacron graft repair of an iatrogenic ascending aortic dissection during open mitral valve repair, which was successfully treated with endovascular graft placement. In conclusion, this rare case demonstrates the complex pathology and further showcases the versatility of endovascular stent grafts in ascending aortic pathologies.

Summary: Peripheral vascular disease caused by brucellosis is often overlooked, leading to a lack of screening and delayed treatment. There is currently no standard for diagnosing and treating this condition. This study reports on the treatment of abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm caused by brucellosis and reviews its incidence, treatment, and prognosis.

Summary: This study summarized the application of chimney thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for aortic arch pseudoaneurysms with inadequate landing zones. The results showed that chimney TEVAR is a feasible treatment option with acceptable mid-term outcomes, and it can serve as an alternative minimally invasive approach to extend the landing zone.

Summary: The study investigated the outcomes of using custom-made double or triple inner-branched arch endograft for repairing anastomotic aneurysms in patients after open surgical repair of the ascending aorta or proximal arch. The results showed that endovascular arch repair is technically feasible and a promising alternative for patients unfit for surgery.

Summary: The study demonstrated that ascending thoracic endovascular aortic repair with Terumo Aortic CMDs was technically feasible, effective, and safe for very selected lesions. All patients achieved primary clinical success with no major complications or early conversion to open surgery.

Summary: This study used fluid-structure interaction analysis to investigate the relationship between morphological parameters and hemodynamic conditions in ascending aortic aneurysms. The results suggest that enlarged ascending aortic volume is associated with compromised hemodynamic conditions and higher mechanical wall stress.

Summary: The study found that more than two-thirds of patients post-type A aorta dissection repair are technically eligible for endovascular arch inner-branched stent graft repair. The development of devices that can accommodate a mechanical aortic valve and a greater awareness of sufficient graft length would significantly increase availability.

Summary: This study assessed the dynamic segmental anatomy of the entire ascending aorta to determine a suitable landing zone and aortic sizing for thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Using electrocardiogram-gated computed tomography angiography, the dimensions of the aorta in systolic and diastolic phases were measured. The results showed that the ascending aorta had larger dimensions during systole, and the mid-ascending and distal-ascending segments had favorable forms for TEVAR.
