Summary

The provider repairs the descending thoracic aorta. He uses arteriography, which is a technique to visualize the inside of blood vessels. He places an endoprosthesis inside the blood vessels to repair an aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm, ulcer, intramural hematoma, or any traumatic disruption. The provider may use a prosthesis to the level of the celiac artery origin. This procedure does not include repair of the left subclavian artery origin.
