Abstract
Advances in thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) are enabling the treatment of increasingly proximal pathology. While the practice of vascular surgery has thus far been mostly limited to TEVAR in zone 2 or more distally, there are emerging devices for zone 1 and zone 0 repair that do not require any further arch debranching compared with a zone 2 repair. Moreover, such devices set forth repair options for patients unable to tolerate the insult of open surgery. One zone 0 device under evaluation is the Terumo Relay®Branch (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) endovascular graft, which is an off-the-shelf device based on the Relay®Pro platform (Terumo). This double branch device uniquely features a large gate, facilitating easy cannulation that contains two locking portal stents for the innominate artery (IA) and left common carotid artery (LCCA) branch grafts. Within our institution, we have had excellent technical success with Relay®Branch (Terumo) device deployments as part of the Early Feasibility Study, and other centers outside of the USA have published results with this device in small patient series. Notably, there is still a concerning stroke rate associated with the Relay®Branch (Terumo) device, with permanent stroke rates higher than expected but similar to those for open repair. Thus, these interventions must be undertaken with careful patient selection, thorough planning, and with the guidance of a proficient endovascular aortic team. In this article, we will outline the necessary preoperative workup, highlight device features, and detail the operative strategy, with tips for technical success. These guidelines from our experience will help facilitate successful utilization of this device when it becomes widely available in practice.

Abstract
Aortic pathology is always a challenge for the clinician, and must be diagnosed and treated by a multidisciplinary team due to the technical and technological complexity of the resources used. Ongoing efforts to implement a systematic, protocolized approach involving "Aortic teams" made up of cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons, anaesthesiologists and radiologists, among others are now leading to improved outcomes. The aim of this consensus document drawn up by the Aortic working groups of the Spanish Society of Anaesthesiology, Resuscitation and Pain Therapy (SEDAR) and the Spanish Society of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (SECTCV) is to disseminate a set of working protocols. The latest consensus document of the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) and the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) define the concept of "AORTIC TEAM"(1). The aortic team should be closely involved from diagnosis to treatment and finally follow-up, and should be formed of cardiac and vascular surgeons working together with anaesthesiologists, cardiologists, radiologists and geneticists. Treatment of aortic pathologies should be centralised in large centres, because this is the only way to effectively understand the natural course of the disease, provide the entire range of treatment options under one umbrella and treat potential complications. A streamlined emergent care pathway (24/7 availability), adequate transportation and transfer capabilities, as well as rapid activation of the multidisciplinary team must be available. In light of the complexity and constant evolution of therapeutic options, we present this first version of the Anaesthesiology and surgical guidelines for surgery of the ascending aorta and aortic arch. Some questions will no doubt remain unanswered, and future versions will include new techniques that, though implemented in some centres, are still not widely recommended.

Abstract
Prostheses play a critical role in healthcare provision for many patients and encompass aesthetic facial prostheses, prosthetic limbs and prosthetic joints, bones, and other implantable medical devices in musculoskeletal surgery. An increasingly important component in cutting-edge healthcare treatments is the ability to accurately capture patient anatomy in order to guide the manufacture of personalized prostheses. This article examines methods for capturing patient anatomy and discusses the degrees of personalization in medical manufacturing alongside a summary of current trends in scanning technology with a focus on identifying workflows for incorporating personalization into patient-specific products. Over the next decade, with increased harmonization of both personalization and automated prosthetic manufacturing will be the realization of improved patient compliance, satisfaction, and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Since the first endovascular aortic repair in 1990, endovascular devices and the indications for their use have significantly grown. Considerable progress has been made in endovascular devices and techniques, such that endovascular repair is now considered first-line treatment for patients with descending aortic disease. However, for patients with ascending aortic disease, open surgical repair with cardiopulmonary bypass and hypothermic cardiac arrest was the only option until recently. Although the outcomes for open surgical repair of the ascending aorta have improved over the years, approximately 30% of patients with an emergent surgical indication, such as type A aortic dissection, are considered to be too high risk for open repair. For these patients, endovascular repair of the ascending aorta offers a life-saving procedure. The ascending aorta is regarded as the final frontier for endovascular therapy. Endovascular repair of it has posed a formidable challenge thus far, due to its unique anatomy, hemodynamic forces, and lack of an appropriate stent-graft designed specifically for the ascending aorta. Although currently there are no comprehensive data from randomized clinical trials, there are several case series and case reports that have shown favorable outcomes. Improvements in available devices soon will drive an exponential increase in the number of patients undergoing endovascular ascending aortic repair. In this review, the authors discuss multiple aspects of endovascular ascending aortic repair including the unique surgical and anesthetic considerations, the devices used, and the available outcomes data, and future directions are also explored.

Abstract
The aortic arch aneurysm is a complex disease that requires branching of one or more aortic arch vessels and can be fatal if left untreated. In this in vitro study, we examine the effect of the treatment approach on the unsteady hemodynamics and blood perfusion to the upper vessel's in models of an aortic arch aneurysm, and of the three common repair approaches: open-chest surgical repair, chimney, and hybrid approach. A particle image velocimetry method was used to quantify the unsteady hemodynamics in the four models simulated in a mock circulatory loop, to evaluate unsteady hemodynamic parameters and measure perfusion to the brain and the upper body. According to the findings, in terms of perfusion to the brain and upper body, the surgery model has the highest flow rate comparing to the other models in most heart-rate conditions. It also shows oscillatory parameters in the upper vessels which in normal arteries are correlated with a better arterial function. Between the two endovascular procedures, the hybrid model exhibits slightly better hemodynamic characteristics than the chimney model, with lower shear stresses and more oscillatory flow and WSS in the upper vessels. The hybrid model had lower perfusion flow rates to upper vessels during rest conditions (90BPM). However, unlike the other models, perfusion in the hybrid model increased with heart rate, thus at 135 BPM, it results in flow rate to upper vessels similar to that of the chimney model. The results of this study may shed light on future endograft' design and placement techniques.

Abstract
Thoracic aortic aneurysms present significant challenges to clinicians, especially due to their complex nature and an evolving understanding of the safest and most effective ways to manage this condition in the perioperative setting. Thoracic aortic aneurysms have a prevalence rate of 1.3-8.9% in men and 1.0-2.2% in women, and they are estimated to affect more than five per 100,000 person-years. This is notable because the complications of thoracic aortic aneurysms can be catastrophic. The current understanding of the optimal intraoperative management of thoracic aortic aneurysms is changing, as more evidence becomes available regarding lung protective ventilation and its role in enhancing patient safety and wellbeing. This review strives to provide a brief historical understanding of thoracic aortic aneurysms and highlight some of the key discoveries and advances in the management of this condition. This review then describes an overview of the general anaesthetic principles associated with thoracic aortic aneurysms, including ventilatory modalities and how these impact a patient's physiology and intraoperative haemodynamics. A brief discussion on one-lung ventilation is then provided, drawing from current literature in the field, to describe the most up-to-date management of thoracic aortic aneurysms.
