Thoracic EndoVascular Aortic/Aneurysm Stent-Graft Repair (TEVAR) primer.

Cardiac surgeons have variable exposure to thoracic aortic EndoVascular repair (TEVAR) as the primary surgeon. As paradigms evolve and EndoVascular structural heart interventions expand, TEVAR utilization by cardiac surgeons is of particular interest. In order to definitively manage thoracic aortic pathologies in the modern era, cardiac surgeons must incorporate TEVAR into their armamentarium during surgical training or risk a prolonged learning curve.
