Preventive Aortic Stent Graft Implantation Prior to Thoracic Surgery: Early and Midterm Results.

ABSTRACT: Background: There is a paucity of data concerning the feasibility and value of thoracic aortic stent graft implantation (TEVAR) applications for removing tumors infiltrating the aortic wall. This analysis aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of TEVAR and monitor the perioperative risks of morbidity and mortality. Additionally, a literature review was performed. Methods: A retrospective data analysis was performed on patients who received TEVAR prior to thoracic malignancy resection between January 2010 and April 2024. The primary endpoint was technical success. Results: A total of 15 patients (median age: 67 years; range: 23-75; 66.7% female) received TEVAR prior to thoracic surgery of different tumor entities. In 80% of cases (n = 12), the proximal landing zone was in
