Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The treatment of aortic aneurysms is currently undergoing a widespread and fast evolution. The need to meet the ever-increasing demand for care in an increasingly frail and old population has motivated extensive changes in surgical strategies. The democratization and the demystification of endovascular and hybrid surgical techniques has deepened the understanding of these pathologies and has made it possible to offer treatment to patients for whom surgery was previously unfeasible.
The treatment of aortic arch aneurysms or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms is the perfect example. In these complex domains, conventional surgery, which is too invasive, now appears to be giving way to various endovascular strategies. This major evolution, largely due to the development of medical devices, computer-based measuring tools, and artificial intelligence, currently offers an innovative range of therapeutic possibilities, such as BEVAR, FEVAR, PMED, laser in situ, chimneys, and more. The results of all these techniques are encouraging, albeit imperfect, and will find their place within the unique experience of each surgical center. Furthermore, the long-term management of patients is also a significant issue. Endovascular treatment of aneurysms raises questions, especially regarding the durability and management of associated endoleaks.
With this Special Issue, we welcome authors to submit papers on recent advances in surgical treatment and repair, with a special focus on the aortic arch and thoracoabdominal treatment.
