The treatment of descending thoracic aortic aneurysms with an endovascular approach is feasible and may, in some patients, offer the best means of therapy. Early complications were primarily related to device design and patient selection. All aneurysms without endoleaks decreased in size after treatment. Late complications were associated with changing aneurysm morphologic features and device migration. The morphologic changes remain somewhat unpredictable; however, alterations in device design may result in improved fixation and more durable aneurysm exclusion.

“…Kommerell aneurysms and diverticula are normally repaired in a two-staged thoracotomy procedure in which the descending aorta and aberrant subclavian artery are approached separately [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] and reconstructed with grafts. On the other hand, saccular aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta are commonly managed with a one-stage endovascular graft repair [21] , [22] , [23] or open surgery [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] .…”

Aortic disease is a serious, often life-threatening condition. The keys to instituting appropriate therapy in diseases of the aorta include accurate and rapid diagnosis and anatomical assessment. Endovascular aortic repair is a new alternative to conventional surgical approaches. Because arterial rupture is a risk of this procedure, appropriate facilities for resuscitation must be present during the procedure. This paper reviews the important aspects of aortic anatomy, echocardiographic imaging of the thoracic aorta, aortic pathology, endovascular surgery, and the role of echocardiography in the evaluation of the surgical outcome.
