Q

Mandatory left SCA revascularization reasons:

A

1) dominant left vert 2) LIMA CABG 3) left arm hemodialysis 4) aberrant right SCA 5) hypoplastic/absent right vert 6) left vert terminate in posterior cerebellar artery 7) occluded IIA 8) anomalous origin of left vert from arch 9) high risk for spinal ischemia (extensive coverage or previous AAA repair)

22
Q

SVS guidelines on left SCA revasc

A

for all elective TEVAR prior to TEVAR

23
Q

TEVAR with celiac coverage outcome mesenteric ischemia paraplegia rate

A

6% mesenteric ischemia 6% paraplegia

24
Q

periscope technique for celiac/sma during TEVAR

A

1) femoral access 2) self-expanding sent into celiac/sma 3) refinforcement maybe needed

25
Q

Complication with spinal drain placement

A

3%

26
Q

MAP associated with spinal cord ischemia

A

< 70 mmHg

27
Q

EUROSTAR on spine level coverage and spinal cord ischemia

A

40% with spinal cord ischemia had T10 coverage not clear no clear recommendations here

28
Q

Overlap between grafts if two are the same diameter

A

7.5-10 cm

29
Q

Post TEVAR care key points

A

CSF < 10 cm H2O MAP > 80 mmHg if neuro deficit, decrease CSF increase MAP to 100

30

5 year survival TEVAR vs open

A

comparable 63-68%

35
Q

STARZ trial morbidity between TEVAR and open

A

TEVAR 15.6% open 44.3% mostly attributable to pulmonary complications

36

Vascular complication rate of TEVAR

A

5-7%

37

Q

Stroke rate after TEVAR

A

3-7%

39
Q

Rate of paraplegia and paraparesis between TEVAR and OPEN

A

6.2 vs 13% permanent paraplegia 1.6 vs 5.1 higher centres of open say 2.5-3% only for open but bias

40

A

25%

41
Q

Risk factors associated with spinal cord ischemia after TEVAR

A

1) prev AAA repair 2) extensive thoracic aortic coverage 3) renal insufficiency 4) intraoperative hypotension (SBP < 80mmHg) 5) coverage of hypogastric artery and left SCA

42
Q

Endoleak from the pivotal trials

A

Talent had highest leak 10% persistent Tag had higher type 1 and 3 leaks lots of bias not sure what it means

43
