“…As ascending aorta endovascular treatment involves several challenges and potential catastrophic complications [10] , these procedures should be done in a hybrid room, with cardiopulmonary bypass available, as well as transesophageal echocardiogram and transvenous pacemaker, and by a surgical team well trained on both procedures (conventional and endovascular) [11] .…”

“…Regarding anatomical suitability criteria, a landing zone of at least 2 cm, an aortic diameter < 40 mm [8-11] , an absence of grade 3/4 regurgitation, and iliofemoral vessels with a diameter > 7 mm and an angulation < 90° (for 24-French delivery system) have been required. Besides this, in cases of TAAD, a distance from the entry tear to the coronary ostia > 20 mm is also mandatory [12-14] .…”

Regardless the successful treatment of the descending aorta with endovascular prosthesis, for the ascending aorta segment, because of several anatomic and physiologic issues, this technique has been considered an alternative only for high-risk or inoperable patients. Despite restricted indications, hundreds of treatments have been performed worldwide, demonstrating its safety and reproducibility if it is done in high-quality centers. Therefore, understanding patients’ selection criteria and technique limitations are critical to its application.
