Endovascular treatment for thoracoabdominal and paravisceral aortic aneurysms

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of an endovascular approach to treat thoracoabdominal and paravisceral abdominal aortic aneurysms. The procedure involves placing a stent-graft over the aneurysm through small incisions in the groins and arm, as opposed to traditional surgery which requires a large incision. The goal is to reduce pain, minimize complications, and shorten hospital stays compared to standard surgical methods. Participants will be monitored for outcomes related to the success of the stent-graft placement and overall recovery.
