Total endovascular repair of the aortic arch: initial experience in the Netherlands.

The observed stroke rate in the initial experience, however, was considerable. Although appealing, this new lesser-invasive technique should be carefully introduced, and its progress thoroughly evaluated. PMID: 31593657 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
