Abstract
Transapical access for TEVAR would be a potential alternative when the anatomy is unfit for routine retrograde approach. This method might have potential benefit of reducing the risk of embolism in patients with severe atherosclerotic thoracic descending aorta. However, certain safety concerns must be addressed, including maintenance of hemodynamics, wire exteriorization for navigation of the device tip, and rapid pacing during deployment.
