Review Meta Analysis
Endograft collapse after thoracic endovascular aortic repair.
To provide insight into the causes, timing, and optimal management of endograft collapse after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). ⋯ Endograft collapse typically occurs shortly after TEVAR, most frequently after endovascular repair of traumatic aortic injury. A high level of suspicion for endograft collapse in the first month after TEVAR, as well as further improvement of current endovascular devices, may be required to improve the long-term outcomes of patients after TEVAR.
