Minimally invasive video-assisted graft replacement of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm 5th Annual Meeting of the International-Society-for-Minimally-Invasive-Cardiac-Surgery Woo, Y. J., Childers, H. FORUM MULTIMEDIA PUBLISHING, LLC. 2003: E59–E61Abstract
Standard surgical therapy of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms entails obligate extensive operative exposure that is associated with significant postoperative pain and morbidity. A 70-year-old patient with multiple significant comorbidities including severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (force expiratory volume at 1 second, 0.66 L) presented with a highly symptomatic, eccentric, descending thoracic aortic aneurysm. The patient underwent successful minimally invasive video-assisted graft repair of this aneurysm. This report represents the first known clinical application of this operative approach.
