Abstract
Coexisting arterial diseases and endoprosthesis to peripheral-vessel mismatch may impair conventional femoral access for endovascular treatment of descending aorta aneurysms. Furthermore, previous abdominal operations can make an optional aortic-iliac approach more difficult. We introduced a new minimally invasive access through the aortic arch, which completely avoids the aortic-iliac access and minimizes surgical trauma.
