Update on thoracic aortic endovascular grafting using the medtronic talent device

Seminars in Vascular Surgery
Christopher J Kwolek, Ronald Fairman

Abstract

This article provides a brief update on the current status of the treatment of thoracic aortic pathology using the Medtronic Talent device. Preoperative evaluation and selection criterion along with study design are described for the recently completed Phase II VALOR Trial (Evaluation of the Medtronic AVE Talent Thoracic Stent Graft System for the Treatment of Thoracic Aneurysms). In addition, the results of several recent series for the treatment of degenerative aneurysm and more complex aortic pathology such as transection, rupture and acute and chronic dissection are reviewed.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
