Transapical endovascular repair with a table-tailored endograft to treat ascending aortic dissection

J Card Surg. 2014 Nov;29(6):824-6. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12449. Epub 2014 Sep 5.

Abstract

Current endografts, which were designed primarily for the descending aorta, have significant limitations when used in the ascending aorta. We report our initial experience using the transapical endovascular approach to treat an ascending aortic dissection with a table-tailored commercial stent graft.
