Open Tacking of a Migrated Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Graft.

ABSTRACT

Complications of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) are beginning to emerge as novel vascular issues. While endovascular solutions exist for most, some graft complications require a more traditional open solution. These operations are most commonly performed for endoleak or disease progression. Much less frequently observed is the migration of the endograft requiring open reintervention. Herein we present a case of a proximally migrated TEVAR graft, which required open fixation under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA).
