Background
A retrospective review was conducted of 61 consecutive patients (49 men; mean age 53,4 years) who underwent endovascular aortic aneurysm repair from December 2008 to September 2009. In this population, 32 (52,5%) patients were treated with EVAR and 29 (47,5%) with TEVAR. Of the 29 thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA), 7 traumatic TAA, 5 acute Stanford B disections, 7 chronic Stanford B disections, 9 degenerative TAA and 1 false TAA after operation of coarctation were treated with various types of stentgrafts. Stentgrafts were inserted under the local anesthesia, using percutaneous approach and „perclose“ technique of puncture sites (14-26F) closure. Patients are followed postoperatively with office visits and computed tomography at 1, 6 and 12 months and anually thereafter.
