Abstract
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been proven to be the optimal therapy for patients with a ruptured descending thoracic aortic pathology. In these emergent settings, TEVAR provides a rapid delivery of treatment to an unstable patient with a lethal disease. Typically, the greatest challenge is maintaining hemodynamic stability until the time of graft deployment. In this report, we describe our technique of performing awake TEVAR for ruptured descending thoracic aortic disease.
