An off-the-shelf multibranched endograft is safe and effective for treating urgent TAAAs. Postoperative SCI and 30-day mortality are satisfactory for this challenging clinical scenario. The early reintervention rate is not negligible. Midterm survival is low, especially in patients with a ruptured TAAA; therefore, accurate patient selection is mandatory.
