TCD Enhances TEVAR Safety with Real-time Feedback
Explore how Transcranial Doppler (TCD) monitoring enhances the safety of Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) in this informative 10-minute video. Learn about real-time TCD monitoring techniques, changes in cerebral hemodynamics during TEVAR, and the crucial role of immediate feedback during manipulations within the aortic arch and supra-aortic vessels. Witness a procedure addressing a type 1a endoleak from an endograft placed due to aortic dissection, complicated by postsurgical anatomy. Discover how TCD feedback aids in making critical intra-operative decisions, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
