Conclusion

Endovascular approach is a valid alternative to open surgery for all patients when morphologically feasible

Identification of a suitable proximal landing zone remains a major concern in TEVAR for arch disease

Dacron ascending aorta is the safest landing zone

An arch branched endograft should be at most 42 mmin proximal diameter (ascending aorta no larger than 38 mm)

Off-the-shelf solutions will be the future for extending the treatment also to emergency
