OBJECTIVE: Herein we report our experience in placement of endovascular stentgrafts in the descending aorta in @entity1 with @entity697 due to @entity397 or aortobronchial fistula. METHODS: Six @entity1 (one @entity1 , five @entity1 , mean age 47+/-19 years) were treated from September 1995 to February 2000 by implantation of endovascular stentgrafts in the descending aorta. Indications included traumatic @entity397 of the aortic isthmus (n=3) and aortobronchial @entity292 (n=3). All procedures were performed under general anaesthesia. The implants were introduced under fluoroscopic guidance via the aorta (n=1), the iliac (n=4) or femoral (n=2) artery, respectively. RESULTS: All aortobronchial @entity292 and @entity397 were sealed up successfully. There was no perioperative morbidity and no procedure-related morbidity except one @entity1 who received aortofemoral reconstruction because of @entity432 . All @entity1 are alive and well after a mean follow-up of 31 months (range 6-60). Two @entity1 had recurrent hemoptysis, in one case, the @entity1 received a second implant (distal extension), the other @entity1 was managed conservatively. CONCLUSION: Endovascular treatment by a stentgraft is a safe and reliable procedure in the management of @entity697 in @entity1 with @entity1755 or aortobronchial @entity292 .
