Physical Health

Aortic aneurysms can develop anywhere along the length of the aorta, but three-fourths of aneurysms are located in the abdominal aorta. Thoracic aortic aneurysms, including those that extend from the descending thoracic aorta into the upper abdomen, account for one-fourth of aortic aneurysms.

Endovascular stent grafting of the vascular system has emerged as a therapeutic modality for aortic aneurysms. Their safety and efficacy has been explored in the treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and peripheral arterial aneurysms.

Endovascular graft repair is performed under general, spinal or regional anesthesia. During the procedure, a prosthetic endograft is introduced with radiographic guidance through the femoral artery, iliac artery or the abdominal aorta. The device is advanced to the aneurysm site, deployed, and attached to the normal aorta with a self-expandable stent system. While both thoracic and abdominal aneurysms can be surgically repaired using stents and grafts, these open procedures are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Endovascular repair was developed to provide a minimally invasive approach, using a catheter inserted through a small groin incision to place the stent/graft across the aneurysm site. Patients requiring aortic aneurysm artery repair often have very significant co-morbid conditions including cardiac, pulmonary, and renal disease or insufficiency, and the comorbidities significantly increase the risk for major perioperative complications following open surgical repair.

A thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a potentially life-threatening disorder involving a structural weakness of the aortic wall. Progressive arterial dilation and possible rupture may occur.

Standard treatment for thoracic aortic aneurysms is an open surgical resection and replacement of the diseased aorta with a graft.

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is usually asymptomatic until it expands or ruptures.

Presence of a pulsatile abdominal mass is virtually diagnostic but is found in less than half of cases. Rupture is uncommon if aneurysms are less than 5 cm in diameter, but ruptures are dramatically more common for aneurysms greater than 6 cm in diameter. Without prompt intervention, ruptured aneurysms are often fatal.

Endovascular stent grafting for the repair of descending thoracic aorta (DTA) and AAA is an option for treatment of aneurysms and may be covered for patients who meet the required criteria.
