Purpose: To report early and mid-term results of post-aortic dissection thoracoabdominal aneurysms (pD-TAAA) treated by complex endografting in three tertiary referral hospitals. Materials and methods: A review of all patients with pD-TAAA unfit for open surgery treated with complex endovascular repair from 2012 to 2018 was performed. Simple thoracic endografts (TEVAR) were excluded. Staged procedures in case of extensive aortic coverage were always planned. Results: In total, 21 patients (16 males, mean age 63 ± 10 years) with pD-TAAA underwent aortic repair by fenestrated or branched thoracoabdominal endografts for visceral vessels. Mean TAAA diameter was 61 ± 6.2 mm. Spinal cord drainage was performed in all patients. A staged approach was used in 12 (57%) cases. Technical success was achieved in 18 (86%) patients. No in-hospital deaths occurred. Two patients experienced transient post-procedural spinal cord ischemia. At 30 days, six type II endoleaks (29%), two type Ic endoleak (9.5%) and one type IIIc endoleak (5%) were reported. At a mean follow-up of 23 ± 13 months, no late aortic-related deaths occurred. Three patients underwent reintervention for type Ic and IIIc endoleaks. No visceral vessel occlusion was observed. Estimated freedom from reintervention at 12 and 24 months was 85.7 ± 0.7%. In 13 cases, TAAA diameter decreased at least 5 mm, while increased > 5 mm in only one case. Complete false lumen thrombosis was achieved in 18 patients (86%). Conclusion: Complex endografting for pD-TAAA showed favorable mid-term results. Staged and carefully planned endovascular procedures may represent a safe and effective therapeutic option in patients deemed at high risk of open repair.

Abstract
Purpose: To report early and mid-term results of post-aortic dissection thoracoabdominal aneurysms (pD-TAAA) treated by complex endografting in three tertiary referral hospitals. Materials and methods: A review of all patients with pD-TAAA unfit for open surgery treated with complex endovascular repair from 2012 to 2018 was performed. Simple thoracic endografts (TEVAR) were excluded. Staged procedures in case of extensive aortic coverage were always planned. Results: In total, 21 patients (16 males, mean age 63 ± 10 years) with pD-TAAA underwent aortic repair by fenestrated or branched thoracoabdominal endografts for visceral vessels. Mean TAAA diameter was 61 ± 6.2 mm. Spinal cord drainage was performed in all patients. A staged approach was used in 12 (57%) cases. Technical success was achieved in 18 (86%) patients. No in-hospital deaths occurred. Two patients experienced transient post-procedural spinal cord ischemia. At 30 days, six type II endoleaks (29%), two type Ic endoleak (9.5%) and one type IIIc endoleak (5%) were reported. At a mean follow-up of 23 ± 13 months, no late aortic-related deaths occurred.
