Methods: A total of 500 TEVARs were performed from 1999 to 2009, with 4 requiring explant. Chart review was performed to identify the indications of explant, operative technique, and perioperative morbidity and mortality. Results: Indications of graft removal included device maldeployment, type I endoleak, aortoenteric fistula, and retrograde type A dissection necessitating aortic root replacement. Reconstruction was achieved with aortic homograft, Dacron, or explant of the proximal component with incorporation of the distal stent into the suture line. Mean follow-up was 13 months (0-50 months). Paraplegia and perioperative death occurred in 1 patient who underwent intraoperative conversion to open repair. There were no other major complications, and graft removal was achieved in all patients. Conclusions: Although rare, familiarity with TEVAR explant is imperative as it is increasingly performed for broader indications. Our limited data suggest that explant can be performed successfully albeit with morbidity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1538574410371525","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,7]],"date-time":"2010-06-07T12:30:58Z","timestamp":1275913858000},"page":"440-445","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Thoracic Aortic Endograft Explant: A Single-Center Experience"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Melissa L.","family":"Kirkwood","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alberto","family":"Pochettino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ronald M.","family":"Fairman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Benjamin M.","family":"Jackson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edward Y.","family":"Woo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Grace J.","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2004.07.008"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2004.10.046"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2004.03.051"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejcts.2004.05.003"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2006.05.041"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1583\/04-1369.1"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehi493"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2007.10.030"},{"key":"atypb9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10016-004-0075-9"},{"key":"atypb10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2009.07.097"},{"key":"atypb11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2006.12.023"},{"key":"atypb12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvir.2007.01.018"},{"key":"atypb13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtcvs.2006.03.055"},{"key":"atypb14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2008.01.003"},{"key":"atypb15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.athoracsur.2006.09.036"}],"container-title":["Vascular and Endovascular Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1538574410371525","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1538574410371525","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,2]],"date-time":"2026-05-02T06:51:44Z","timestamp":1777704704000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/1538574410371525"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,2]]},"references-count":15,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2010,8]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/1538574410371525"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/1538574410371525","relation":{},"ISSN":["1538-5744","1938-9116"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1538-5744","type":"print"},{"value":"1938-9116","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,2]]}}}
