Endovascular aortic treatment is being performed more often and offers some advantages over open surgery. Nevertheless, open repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms is still relevant in complex cases, including combined chronic aortic dissection, congenital aortic abnormalities such as aberrant right subclavian artery, and dense pleural adhesions after a previous thoracotomy. We describe our successful use of open repair in a 46-year-old man who had these multiple abnormalities.

Purpose: To describe the technical aspects of a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) repair using a patient-specific fenestrated-branched stent-graft. Technique: The technique is demonstrated in a 69-year-old man with a 6.2-cm asymptomatic type III TAAA. A patient-specific fenestrated-branched stent-graft was designed with 2 down-going directional branches for the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries and 2 reinforced fenestrations for the renal arteries. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia and included sequential stenting of the celiac, superior mesenteric, and bilateral renal arteries. The patient was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 5 with no complications. Follow-up computed tomography angiography demonstrated exclusion of the aneurysm and patent target vessels at 12-month follow-up. Conclusion: This article and illustrated video highlight the steps for procedure planning and implantation of fenestrated and branched endografts. As these techniques continue to evolve, outcomes are expected to be equivalent or improved as compared to those of long-established open repair.

Abstract Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a variant of cardiovascular autonomic disorder characterised by an excessive heart rate on standing and orthostatic intolerance. We present a rare case of a 38-year-old man who underwent open repair of a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm for a chronic Stanford type B aortic dissection whose recovery was complicated by POTS. He received blood transfusions and was commenced on metoprolol, fludrocortisone and ivabradine with significant improvement in his symptoms. Correct assessment of postoperative tachycardia including postural telemetry is the key to identifying this condition and its successful management.
