Mid-term Outcomes of Endovascular Repair of Ruptured Thoraco-abdominal Aortic Aneurysms with Off the Shelf Branched Stent Grafts

Emergency b-EVAR of rTAAA with OTS device is feasible despite a low anatomical suitability. With proper adjunctive procedures, it can be offered to most hemodynamically stable patients. These time-consuming complex procedures are not suitable for unstable patients. Often the procedure is done as life-saving in the emergency setting and reinterventions may be needed later. Consequently, the success rates are lower than in the elective setting. These results need to be confirmed by larger studies and longer follow-up.
