Long-term Surveillance and Management of a Degenerating Thoracoabdominal Aneurysm

We report the case of an 81-year-old woman with a complex thoracoabdominal aneurysm who has undergone multiple interventions, both endovascular and open, since 2010 for continued and repeated aneurysmal degeneration. Her interventions include an initial thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in 2010 for a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm of 6.4  cm, ascending aortic aneurysm replacement in 2014, proximal extension of TEVAR and carotid-subclavian bypass in 2016, fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair in 2017, and finally a complete aortic arch replacement in 2018.
