Open Thoracic and Thoraco-abdominal Aortic Repair After Prior Endovascular Therapy.

CONCLUSION: Open TAA(A) repair as a secondary procedure after previous endovascular aortic therapy is an important treatment option even in the endovascular era. It represents a durable treatment that can produce respectable outcomes. Yet the peri-operative morbidity and mortality are relevant and a specialised team and infrastructure are mandatory for these complex procedures. Therefore, centralisation is required.
