Popis: First-line therapy for aneurysm, dissection, or rupture of the descending thoracic aorta is now by the endovascular approach. Retrograde insertion of the endograft, through access from the femoral arteries, is the preferred approach. This case presents a new, innovative technique for delivery of an endoprosthesis into the descending thoracic aorta when hostile anatomy prevents delivery from the femoral arteries, iliac arteries, or infrarenal abdominal aorta in a patient not suitable for open repair. Keywords: Thoracic aortic aneurysm, Alternative access sites for endovascular aortic repair, Hostile anatomy
