Abstract
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of staged open and endoluminal repair of complex thoracoabdominal aneurysms. We report the management of two patients with a staged, open abdominal and endoluminal thoracic repair of Crawford extent II aneurysms, where iliofemoral access was impossible and thoracic repair effected by endograft deployment via a common carotid artery. From this experience we conclude that staged open and endovascular repair for both ruptured and elective Crawford extent II thoracoabdominal aneurysms can be performed using the common carotid artery, when anatomy is favorable.
