Abstract
The juxtarenal and the thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) are chronic degenerative disease whose natural history usually involves structural progressive deterioration of the vessel wall, with gradual expansion and eventual rupture. Aneurysm rupture is the major complication with disastrous consequences. The history of this disease has reflected the remarkable progress of vascular and endovascular surgery over the years. The real possibility of transforming a major surgery in a minimally invasive procedure seduced experts and produced profound conceptual changes with a constant search on improving the techniques, the material and achieving better results. The complexity of the anatomy of these aneurysms, limit the development of endovascular solutions. However, some different fenestrated and branched devices and techniques have been successfully used.
