Abstract
TEVAR for BTAI in patients with short proximal landing zones of 10 to 20Â mm as well as in select patients with landing zones of 5 to 10Â mm appears to be safe and efficacious. The aorta demonstrates no residual injury after TEVAR, with the graft acting potentially more as a bridge to allow healing. Long-term issues regarding LSA coverage have been difficult to ascertain and to evaluate because of historically poor follow-up in this population of patients. However, potential issues with LSA coverage and revascularization may be avoided by preserving the subclavian artery even with shorter proximal landing zones.
