Chapter 78 - TAAA endovascular Flashcards
When was the first TEVAR approved by FDA
2005
Approved devices in US for TEVAR
1) Gore CTAG (2012) 2) Medtronic valiant (2014) 3) Cook TX2 with proform (2008) 4) Cook Zenith alpha (2015) 5) Bolton relay plus (2012)

28-42 120-216 mm proximal 136-207 mm distal ID 20, 22
Cook Zenith alpha device diameter length delivery profile
24-46 mm 105-233mm proximal 142-211 mm distal ID 16, 18, 20
Bolton relay plus device diameter length delivery profile
22-46 mm 10, 15, 20, 25 cm OD 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 no tapering component
Material of Gore CTAG and key features
ePTFE with nitinol deploys from middle of graft passive fixation oversize 7-22%
Material of Medtronic valiant captivia device
monofilament woven polyester to sinusoidal nitinol spring (outside of graft) passive fixation 8 peaked bare metal proximal FREEFLO configuration oversize 10-20%
Cook TX2 with proform material
Woven dacron with stainless steel z-stents stents on inside at seal zone and outside for rest barbs provide active fixation
Cook zenith alpha material
woven polyester and nitinol active fixation bare stents
Bolton relay material
woven polyester to nitinol stents active fixation with bare stents (also available with non-bare stents) oversize 10-15%
Ideal access vessel size
> 7 mm
Internal iliac conduit
Covered stents crack and pave controlled rupture of iliac then use it as conduit for TEVAR
11 zones of SVS TEVAR landing
Zone 0 = proximal to innominate Zone 1: proximal to left CCA Zone 2: proximal to left SCA Zone 3: < 2cm from left SCA Zone 4: 3cm distal to SCA to T6 Zone 5: T6 to celiac Zone 6: celiac to top of SMA Zone 7: SMA to suprarenal aorta Zone 8: perirenal aorta Zone 9: infrarenal aorta Zone 10: CIA Zone 11: EIA
Problem with excessive oversizing
1) graft infolding 2) gutter formation 3) aortic neck degeneration
How often do TEVAR have to land in zone 2
20%
Percentage of people with dominant left vert
> 60%
Risk of stroke without and with left SCA revasc
5.5 vs 1.2%
European collaborators on stent/graft techniques for aortic aneurysm repair EUROSTAR on spinal ischemia
left SCA coverage without revasc is associated with 3.49x more spinal ischemia
