Objectives The aim of this study is to report the safety and effectiveness of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in a native proximal landing zone (PLZ) 2 for chronic type B aortic dissection (TBAD) patients with genetic aortic syndrome (GAS). Methods A retrospective review of a single center database to identify patients with GAS treated with TEVAR in native PLZ 2 for chronic TBAD and thoracic false lumen aneurysm between February 2012 and February 2018 was undertaken. Results In total, 31 patients with GAS (24 Marfan syndrome [MFS], 5 Loeys-Dietz syndrome [LDS], and 2 vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome [vEDS]) were treated by endovascular repair. Nineteen patients were treated by TEVAR as index procedures with 8 patients (5 females, mean age = 55, range = 36–79 years old) receiving TEVAR in native PLZ 2. Left subclavian artery (LSA) perfusion was preserved in all 8 patients: by left common carotid artery-LSA bypass in 6 patients, chimney stenting of the LSA in 1 patient, and partial coverage of LSA ostium in 1 patient. Technical success was achieved in all patients (100%). There was no 30 day mortality (0%). The 30 day morbidity (0%) was free from major complications. The median follow-up was 40 months (range = 7–79). One patient died due to non-aortic-related cause. Native PLZ 2 was free from complications in MFS patients (5/8). Two patients with LDS developed type Ia endoleak with aneurysmal progression. One patient was treated by proximal extension with a double inner branched arch stent-graft landing in the replaced ascending aorta. The other one was treated with frozen elephant trunk. Conclusion Thoracic endovascular aortic repair in native PLZ 2 was safe and effective with no early or midterm PLZ complications in patients with MFS with chronic TBAD in this limited series. Native PLZ 2 is not safe in patients with LDS and should only be used in emergencies as a bridging to open repair.

We herein describe a 38-year-old woman with Marfan syndrome and chronic type A aortic dissection. Computed tomography showed that the sinus of Valsalva and thoracoabdominal aorta had a diameter of 62 and 55 mm, respectively. After 7 months of a Bentall operation and total arch replacement with the elephant trunk technique, we performed thoracic endovascular aortic repair for an aneurysm of the descending aorta, but we preserved the retrograde flow into the false lumen because it supplied vessels perfusing the spinal cord. Computed tomography angiography 14 months after thoracic endovascular aortic repair showed that the thoracic aortic diameter had increased to 68 mm. We then performed partial (proximal only) coil embolization of the false lumen. After 6 months, the thoracic aortic diameter had decreased to 60 mm and the spinal cord remained perfused via the distal false lumen. Staged coil embolization after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for aneurysmal chronic type B aortic dissection is feasible and can be beneficial.
