Endovascular treatment of aortic disease has emerged as an alternative mode of treatment that is particularly attractive for patients with severe comorbidities who would not be ideal candidates for open surgery. Actually, short-term morbidity and mortality rates, of large series, compare favorably with those from surgery, and stent-graft placement is proving to be a safe, minimally invasive, and effective treatment for thoracic aortic diseases. However, although endoluminal interventions are minimally invasive, they are associated with complications, as are surgical methods. In this article, indications, technical aspects, and results of endovascular TAA repairs will be reviewed. We will also examine the advantages and limitations of stent-graft treatment. Finally, we will discuss the management of complications following aortic stent-graft implantation. We intentionally do not cover the topic of thoracic dissection, as it is being covered in another article in this volume.
