Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of endovascular techniques has become increasingly widespread for the management of abdominal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs and TAAAs), leading to a paradigm shift away from open surgical repair, which remains, however, the gold standard treatment for young and fit patients.
One of the crucial aspects of this issue includes the development of patient-specific fenestrated and branched endografts (F/BEVAR), which increase the feasibility and success of treating more complex aortic anatomies that were previously only treatable with open surgery.
These technical innovations have been made possible thanks to advances in the imaging modality, development of 3D printing for pre-operative planning, and new biomaterials for improved device durability and security. Personalized medicine approaches, utilizing biomechanical data and AI, are also emerging to improve risk prediction and treatment tailoring.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an updated insight into the most recent advances in the management of this complex pathology.
Dr. Daniela Mazzaccaro
