[Therapeutic endovascular procedures in aortitis]. Rev Med Interne. 2016 Feb 8; Authors: Del Giudice C, Alsac JM, Sapoval M Abstract Aortitis is an inflammation of the aortic wall with an infectious or non-infectious origin, which often progresses to vascular complications. The open surgical approach is a high-risk procedure for these pathologies. Endovascular interventions have improved the prognosis of patients with aortitis complications. This manuscript describes the pathophysiology responsible for vascular complications and the role of endovascular approach for their treatment. PMID: 26869293 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
