A Case Report on the Open Surgical Repair of Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm With Severe Thoracic Vertebral Body Erosion. Experience in LMIC
Abstract
Open surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm with vertebral erosion is rare and complex, especially in low‐resource settings. This case shows that with multidisciplinary planning, staged aneurysm exclusion and spinal stabilization can yield excellent outcomes, even where endovascular tools are unavailable.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
