[The thoracic aorta aneurism stenting].

ABSTRACT

27 patients with thoracic aortic aneurism with dissection type III were operated on and stented. The mean age was 56±11,17 years. Men were 24, women 3. 1 patient developed intraoperative stent-graft leakage type IV, and 1 - type II. Both cases needed no additional manipulations. Minimal invasiveness of the procedure and pain absence allowed early activisation of patients. 2 patients had postoperative paraplegia, which was successfully treated by spinal drainage. There were no lethal cases. The long-term follow-up showed no leakage on CT scans; 11 patients demonstrated complete closure of false canal of the stented segment. The overall survival rate was 92.6% after 60 months of follow-up. Unfavorable results were registered in 29.6%.
