For elective TEVAR where LSA coverage is required for a proximal seal, preoperative revascularization is suggested. For cases where LSA perfusion is vital (e.g., patent left internal mammary artery bypass or termination of vertebral artery into the posterior inferior cerebellar artery), preoperative revascularization is indicated. For emergent TEVAR, a decision regarding preoperative revascularization should be individualized.
