Endovascular Repair of Ascending Aortic Disease in High-Risk Patients Yields Favorable Outcome
ConclusionsAscending aortic stent placement for ascending aortic disease is feasible and is associated with favorable aortic remodeling. Despite persistent perfusion to the false lumen in a subset of patients, there is minimal aortic dilation at short-term follow-up with excellent survival.

003 * early and mid-term outcome of secondary interventions after thoracic endovascular aortic repair
Conclusion: Secondary surgical procedures after TEVAR can be performed with low mortality and morbidity rate, despite severe preoperative conditions of patients. Achieving acceptable outcomes after open surgical correction suggested that many patients with complex aortic pathologies can benefit from conventional surgery during primary intervention.

Hybrid repair of Kommerell diverticulum
Conclusions: Hybrid repair is a safe and effective surgical treatment option for Kommerell diverticulum. Selection of the specific type of intervention is based on patient anatomy and comorbid conditions.
