Abstract
Clinical condition, hostile anatomy, and previous heart/aortic surgery may preclude standard open surgery and standard endovascular interventions in patients with complex aortic pathologies. We report our initial experience using the transapical endovascular approach to treat a type IA endoleak after transfemoral endovascular graft repair for a contained rupture of a penetrating descending aortic ulcer; an ascending aortic anastomotic pseudoaneurysm after open surgical repair of an ascending aortic dissection; and a type A aortic dissection after minimally invasive mitral valve repair. There were no neurologic or cardiovascular complications, and the 30-day mortality was 0%.
