Open Tacking of a Migrated Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Graft

Complications of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) are beginning to emerge as novel vascular issues. While endovascular solutions exist for most, some graft complications require a more traditional open solution. These operations are most commonly performed for endoleak or disease progression. Much less frequently observed is migration of the endograft requiring open re-intervention. Herein we present a case of a proximally migrated TEVAR graft which required open fixation under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA).
