Transesophageal echocardiography guidance for stent-graft repair of a thoracic aneurysm is facilitated by the ability of partial stent deployment.
Ann Vasc Surg. 2012; (6): 861.e7-9
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is routinely used in our Institution for monitoring correct positioning of thoracic aortic stent grafts. We present a case of successful endovascular repair of three discrete thoracic aortic aneurysms with Zenith TX2 endovascular stent grafts in an 82-year-old female patient. Our focus is on the increased value of TEE guidance because of the ability of partial stent deployment and manipulation during insertion.
