Abstract

The treatment of thoracic aortic diseases has undergone a paradigm shift due to the introduction and further development of interventional techniques in recent years.

Meanwhile this endovascular approach is the first option for the treatment of the majority of thoracic aortic diseases.<br /> (© Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.)
