Thirteen (30%) patients suffered 18 major complications (8 strokes, paraplegia in 3, respiratory insufficiency in 6, and 1 renal failure). Of 7 (16%) endoleaks detected in the early postoperative period, 3 required additional stents, while the other 4 were treated conservatively. Follow-up, which averaged 19 \u00b1 6 months (median: 13; range 0\u201334), was 100% complete. Five (12%) patients died: 3 of aortic rupture at 34, 47, and 139 days, respectively, and 2 from heart failure at 3 and 15 months, respectively. No late migration or endoleaks have been detected in the remaining 35 patients; however, 1 (2%) patient showed progressive aortic dissection proximal to the stent-graft. In all other cases, the size of the aneurysm or the false lumen was unchanged or diminished.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Treatment of descending thoracic aortic diseases with an endovascular approach has acceptable early mortality and morbidity in high-risk patients.
